Even the goddamned bus drivers yap on their cel phones here... I don't have a driver's license partially because I'm so afraid of all the idiots on the road.
I've been in the offending car once and the assbumped once. Based on my vast experience I can offer the following advices:
* Be in the bigger car. Scrappy old Peugeot 105 against a Volvo? Not pretty.
* Headbang often to keep the neck muscles in shape. I had about two days of bad whiplash (couldn't even sit up without full head support), then it cleared up neatly and hasn't bothered me in over ten years.
It's good that you are "educating" bad drivers, but think of your own health as well, okay?
