"Sure enough I saw a car in my rear view mirror approaching me at a very high rate of speed. The joker must have been going 85 (this was at 6 pm on a week night)."

It's gotten to the point where if I have to slow down and stop on the interstate, I turn the hazard flashers on till I know the person behind me is going to stop. In one case I left them on until we started moving at normal speeds again.

Around here on I95 it's pretty common to be passed by some lane-weaver going 90+ MPH. I always make a point to look at the tags of the vehicles doing it, Maryland and New York tags seem to be the most common.

In one case, I was in the middle lane, to be passed on the right by a New York driver in a Lincoln Navigator going what must have been 100MPH, only to find him two minutes later going 5MPH below the speed limit (60MPH) in the left lane.

I guess that one voted for Hillary!

That's a very good idea.

I will add it to my defensive driving arsenal.
