I've had a couple impatient drivers pass me lately, but better safe than sorry, right?
Yeah, I've noticed the same thing—after my defensive driving course, I started leaving extra room and got honked at a few times. Honestly though, I'd rather deal with impatient drivers than another rear-end claim... those premiums sting.
Haha, as someone who's had more than my share of "premium-raising incidents," here's my foolproof method: Step 1, ignore honks. Step 2, wave politely. Step 3, remind yourself that impatient honkers don't chip in for your insurance hikes... works every time.
Haha, I get ignoring honks, but sometimes they're honking for a legit reason—like your gas cap dangling open (been there...). Maybe a quick glance first before the wave? Could save you from an embarrassing pit stop later.

Been there too... except mine was worse. I once drove off with my coffee mug still on the roof. Didn't realize until I saw brown streaks down the back window at a stoplight. So yeah, quick glance before waving someone off is solid advice. Congrats on the insurance savings, btw—those defensive driving courses really do pay off in the long run.
