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...

10X!
I never ceases to amaze me with all the regulated on ramps now days, that when the regulating device is off you see a string of vehicles bumper to bumper coming down the ramp expecting to merge! :S
You would think they would at some point get the idea, but most likely they just see those lights as something to slow them down.
Just like those that tailgate a semi getting on the highway then jump out in front of much faster moving traffic to pass him.
I slow way down when I have a semi in front of me on an on ramp until I have about 20+ car lengths (top of ramp), this gives me the room to get to speed, blend to first lane, and likely to the 2nd lane and safely pass the semi.
