I was very successful at flipping people off while driving 25 year old Ford F150 extra cab/long bed. They would stay clear.
Now that I'm driving new Subaru Forester..... doesn't seem to work.
Some folks don't understand that in less "polite" segments of society flipping someone off is an invitation to throwdown. To do so and then call the cops rather than back it up is considered to be a serious breech of form worthy of verbal abuse.
IMO, unless you're feeling frisky and are ready to play the game, its best to just ignore them and call the cops if they don't go away. They're looking to bully someone, not go back to jail.
