How many times has someone seen your vehicle and made a judgment call like that?

Night and day back when I had both a full sized van and a motorcycle.

People would see my big orange van and stop their rolling stops and let me pass.

On the motorcycle they would see me, and judge that they were bigger and just cut in front of me. They saw me, make no mistake about it. The pause, the decision, the going ahead anyway thing even after eye contact.

I get it in the Porsche sometimes, bullies with SUV's thinking they have the right of way based on mass.

The dark car saw the white car and said to himself, I'm bigger - they will have to stop.

The white car had no idea what the dark car had in mind, but he was speeding based on the residential neighbor hood and speed of the dark car.
