Drivers unaware you are pulling a Toad
We are about to buy our first toad, a Jeep Wrangler. I've notice that many drivers pulling onto the freeway and those jockeying about to exit are unaware that there is something behind that motorhome...

"Few years ago, someone on these forums made a comment they were on an interstate in California. The traffic was so heavy and so crazy, and tailgating each other so close, that someone tried to squeeze between their MH and their toad. Evidently they didn't realize they were connected and was attempting to force the toad to back off so he could get between them. Now.... that's just ruthless! But, I suppose it happens."
That's hilarious! Wonder if he cursed out the toad driver for not yielding, just to prove his stupidity.
Sorry to hear that happened to you. Actually that is a concern for anyone towing anything. In Florida, home of probably the worst drivers in the country, tailgating is the state sport. I have had more cars than I can count merge and sit right on my bumper until they can race past. I can see how easy it would be to miss the fact that someone is towing something in their haste to merge.
