I almost always ride with bags/panniers because I use my bike for errands and shopping. I do believe people give you more respect because you have a purpose and are not just "playing" on their road!

I also have a "croozer" cargo trailer and find that cars are more polite than without the trailer. Now if only something could be done about aggressive pickup truck drivers, nothing seems to deter them from their angry ways.
