Thumbs down Tailgating a Lightning

not recommended, route home yesterday closed for a fatality, most of rush hour had to travel way out of their way to get home, and were po'ed. everyone traveling at 80-100mph on elevated stretch of interstate,come to a cloverleaf interchange marked exit 25mph, guy in a z71 4x4, 2-3 feet from bumper tries to negotiate the curve and merge at 60mph tied to my rear bumper. i had no problem, he and the many people he almost killed did. he lost it in the curve, went thru the grass and crossed the interstate into a shrub embankment, had to mess up his truck (new 99)
saw him pull back onto interstate, and he did not try to catch up and tailgate me anymore. some people think the lightning is a pickup truck.

I just thought you was in my area because you referenced the town Cloverleaf, that's also a small community here in my area.

Something similar:

I was followed by a dodge ram, and since I was on a stretch of road frequented by cops, we stuck to the speed limit. I kept my speed (55 mph)into the cloverleaf, and saw the ram in my mirror, losing it sideways. First the front started pushing, and when he got off the gas, the rear came around. He did not catch up either
