I don't really worry too much about getting rear ended in the truck but I do try to pay attention to my rear view in the car. The truck has a big heavy steel bumper to dissipate energy but the car does not. I have had several tailgaters on cell phones almost hit me at lights. Sure is fun to watch the rear view as they see what is going on! The cell phone flies and they pull on the steering wheel as hard as they can to help with braking.
