"Right Hook" Vent

I've been seriously right hooked a couple of times and find it extremely upsetting. Recently, I've been riding past driveways that a trailing motor vehicle wants to turn right into. Instead of laying back and letting me clear the driveway, they have been pulling up past me to the driveway and waiting for me to clear them from behind. This messes up the whole equation because now I can see them, but I don't know what they intend to do. Are they going to wait? Are they going to right hook me? I know the driver sees me when approaching me from behind, but I don't know if he/she is keeping track of me in their side view mirror once they go past. I end up slowing to a virtual stop to be sure they are not going to turn right. If they would lay back for a second and let me clear the driveway unimpeded, the whole process would be more efficient.
It just seems to be happening more frequently for whatever reason. So there.
