That's a very fast car coming up behind me. Let me just change lanes to get out of your way... oh, you're changing lanes too? Back to my original lane; I don't want to get rear-ended. You're going awfully fast; well over 100 mph at a guess. Even with my speed at 70+, that would be a bad accident. Whoosh! Goodbye.
Oh look, an idiot on a motorcycle going as fast as you. Whoosh! So long, idiot.
What this? Flashing red-and-blue lights in my rearview mirror? Two sets, no less. Going rather slower than the idiots, though. Good luck, officers.
Wait... They're pulling over... joining two others already present... and have their spotlights on the drainage ditch next to the highway? No skidmarks, no obvious wreckage... wait... One of them is driving into the ditch?! And... a firetruck going down the exit ramp with their spotlights on, checking both sides of the road.
That was the end of my Friday night. I kinda wish I'd stuck around to find out WTF was happening.
