for the most part in all my towing time I have found people to be fairly courteous to me. There have been a few times when I have come across the aggressive idiot but that has been the exception rather than the rule.
When I tow I try to be courteous and signal my intentions well in advance and try to help time people merging onto the highway if I can't change lanes and I drive defensively. I tow at 65mph on the highway no matter what the flow of traffic is. The biggest issue I find is people do not allow adequate following distance, like being on the bumper of the car in front of you will get you there faster. Lack of following distance is the biggest cause of slow downs and accidents.

Are you always on the happy highway or the road to Shanga-La LOL?
Following distance? I have never been able to maintain what I consider a good following distance while towing, where some moron did not squeeze into the hole I created for myself on a busy Interstate Highway. I find it hard to believe its much better in TN or CA, especially TN. I seem to remember going through Knoxville 40/75 at rush hour to be a little brutal.
