I've got a better idea.  Just get out of the way when you can.  There are some
things that are worth fighting for, and frankly, this isn't one of them.  So some
dork wants to go 100 mph and rides your bumper.  Get out of the way.  Let him wrap
himself around some tree a couple of miles down the road or get nailed for reckless
driving.

No skin off my back.
