I learned a lot being raised in NYC.
Subway beggars had their territories and times . Other beggars better not violate those conditions . Their appearance , actions and words are meant to evoke your emotions.
Today dealing with drug addicts are a different .They can be very dangerous.
Always leave space between the car in front and the one behind you. An old trick was a team that tried to get one car close in front and one close behind you. You are then blocked in !! Don't be afraid to act quickly and forcefully even if you have to run into someone. That old Chevy is better than a 44 !!!
