I find drivers to be extremely nice 99% of the time towards me. Seems to be a the 55-year old male in the BMW that falls in the 1% though. Surely locale has much to do with it but here's a couple of thoughts that may or may not be helpful.
Can people see you? I have honked at joggers and bikers before when it's dark and they are dressed in all black with no lights. My honk is not intended to say get off the road but rather get a light!!
Perhaps a honk ar two may be more of an informational thing than a threat - you know kinda like saying on your left when passing a fellow biker or ped. Might do something to let them know you're aware of them, wave 'em around or make a production out of looking back at them.
might help might not. :shrugs: Just keep the who cares attitude - that's a keeper.
