I was driving south on I-95 in Northern MD once when we hit a really, really bad rain squall - the kind where you only have 40-50 feet of visibility. Being the semi-responsible person I am, I got in the right lane and slowed down to about 45MPH. Some jackass in a Volvo with kids must have been in a hurry to make it to Chuck-E-Cheese, and proceeds to come up onto me in the right lane at about 90MPH (it was the most open lane, since most people don't grasp the whole "passing lane" concept) and proceed to pass me, on the right gravel shoulder of I-95, doing about 90 in a Volvo with 2 kids, fishtailing. I guess that's what they mean by "safe car"

People suck. 'Nuff said.
