Re: tailgaters

[Ayrton Senna <qwe@wam.umd.edu>]

Once coming back from Ocean City Md there was a nice stretch of 2 lane 
highway. But some jerk in a Hummer...tinted windows chrome 
everywhere...decided that going 75 on a 65 wasn't fast enough. I tried 
tapping on the brakes but he just drove closer to me...all I could see 
was his license plate out the rear window...quite frightening to be 
tailgated by a Hummer. So I sped up til there was a car in the next lane...
an elderly man in a Caddy...and I drove right next to him at the same 
speed...blocking both lanes. I did this for quite awhile. The jerk got 
mad and drove off the road! I didn't know Hummers could go that fast.

We should be able to report jerks like the Hummer guy. I think Virginia 
has a number for cellular phone users to report people like that on the 
highways. #77 or something like that.

I must admit I like that spraying window washer fluid seems to be pretty 
good...more decent than flipping the guy off through the sunroof.

Happy motoring
