I have the same phobia. Big pickups or SUVs esp seem to pull close. And how can they see my rear end? I usually leave a little fudge room in front of me. This gives me some space to pull ahead if someone gets too close or out of the way if they're distracted and not going to stop in time.

I get claustrophobic when there is a cement mixer ahead, dump truck behind and an 18 wheeler on each side. It is road construction season on EVERY ROAD in Winnipeg right now so this 'midget among giants' scenario happens a lot.
