Tailgating me at 65 mph for a couple miles (I couldn't see his/her bumper in my rear view window, only the hood of his car); I finally signaled, braked and pulled over to let him pass -- heard screeching tires as he braked to avoid hitting me and then he pulled around me and started tailgating the truck towing a boat that was in front of us). I followed him for another 5 - 10 minutes as he weaved left and right, crossing both the center line and the line on the shoulder, apparently trying to see past the long line of cars in front of him to gauge if it would be "safe" to pass, even in a no-passing zone. (There was a steady string of oncoming traffic on this Sunday afternoon, so it was clear that there was never going to be an opportunity to pass, even in a passing zone, but he was clearly very anxious to pass the line of cars in front of him, even though traffic was already exceeding the 55 mph speed limit. When we reached Ithaca, I lost him, but I called 911 to report him as a serious danger. They recorded the info (lic., model and color), but since I was no longer behind him, they said there was nothing they could do since they couldn't send the police to a specific location. Nonetheless, I wanted to go on record as a witness to his driving habits in case he causes a fatality.
