I pilot the Box just like I did the motorcycles in my past. I am always allowing/looking for an escape route and assume that I am invisible to most of the general, texting while driving, public.

I rigged-up my spoiler to dump three pounds of 1" roofing nails onto the road at the push of a button. Maybe you need to do the same. BTW, Objects in mirror are actually closer than they appear.

Most of it is in your head.
The distance from the drivers seat to rear bumper is much less than most cars, so the car behind you is closer to you than it would be in other cars, but probably no closer to your bumper.

My biggest concern when someone is crawling up my ass driving is getting rear ended as I can probably stop in 50% less distance than they can.

Using the rear fog light usually makes them back off a little

If there is none in the lane next to me, I move over
