Default opinions please

Whats&nbsp\\;if&nbsp\\;stopped at a red light and the car [or truck ]&nbsp\\;comes up really close to your bike. I see alot of drivers getting really close to&nbsp\\;the rear of my car and bike.&nbsp\\;But not just mine. Does this just happen in Tx or all over the country. I asked a policeman and he said there is no law limiting how close a car can get.

Unavoidable, idiots everywhere.

I typically just turn around (still seated) and give them a clear 'what the f**k' look/gesture.&nbsp\\; I occasionally get a small hand wave indicating they apologize, but most of the time I get a dumbfounded look.

I have buddies that will flip copper bb's with their thumb over the shoulder when being followed way to close...they say it usually does the trick.&nbsp\\;
