The highway we were on was- with the exception of a few rural intersections and curves- all passing zone.

It's not my fault people overpopulated the area such that safe passing is often not possible anymore.
A+ Strategy bro. A truck driver will never, ever hit you. They may get close, honk the horn, flash brights, the whole nine yards. They know that if they hit you, even by accident, it goes on their record forever. Not to mention, unless they hit you so hard it disables you, they can't run away. Everytime one of them does what this guy does, find out what company he drives for and give them a call with his license plate number or truck number. They will reprimand him for it. A video for proof is even better.

Also, I noticed that ever since I got my insight, I don't get tailgated or road raged anymore. Maybe people assume just because it's a hybrid I'm going to go slow? Idk, but it's nice.
