Other Technologies That Will Need To Adapt

I'd like to bump draft them out of the way on occasion.

bump drafting with an Elio might not be a good thing ..

oh yeah. Good point.
Maybe an aftermarket brush guard?
I saw somewhere someone mocked up a cow catcher to the front. That may work as well.

there you go .... if you can come up with a heavy duty cow catcher, judging from the pickup trucks I see when we are down there, you can make a fortune in Texas alone ..

Problem with that is the cows weigh more than the Elio, especially in Texas!

When that 'jack-wagon' in front of me goes 30-35 MPH in on a 45 MPH country road... man, it's just too hard to resist sometimes. I'd like to bump draft them out of the way on occasion.
We know that the leaves are beautiful in Northern Virginia wine county and the drives are beautiful on the week-ends, and we don't mind that you come out from DC on your Sunday drives, but some of us live and work here!

I agree "road clots" can be frustrating, but we can't go around trying to intimidate other drivers into driving to suit us...

I've found that the air horns on our Sportchassis can be a motivator and attention getter ..

Aah..Sunday drivers! I hate having to drive to and from work at weekends. It's bizarre how some interpret the Highway Code; they seem to be in their own little world, especially on motorways. Some of them become one vehicle rolling road blocks and seem totally unaware of the long line of vehicles behind that they are delaying.

Those aren't Sunday drivers, those are called "daze heads"...they're in a daze the entire time they're driving and are completely unaware of what's going on around them...these people would serve themselves and the general public much better by taking public transportation...

Yes, but they only drive on motorways at weekends because they wouldn't survive for long if they tried driving like that during the week.

Bear in mind that in UK it's illegal to overtake on the nearside of motorways, no-one can get past once they begin the "I'm doing just under the speed limit and I'm not moving over for anyone" stupidity.
