A situation like that could pop up if you're simply changing the radio station or sneezing. A 65 mph difference closes in a hurry and 80 mph on an interstate is hardly unreasonable (I know I'm at 80-85 for most of my trip down 44 through OK or 35 through KS).
Those trucks that take their sweet-ass time on the highway are dangerous as hell. Especially when it's late and you're on hilly terrain where you kinda struggle to pick up distance as you go up and down over the hills and don't have a prolonged lock on whatever you're coming up on. It makes it really tough to gauge their speed.

Amen to that. I hate it when any driver creeps along on a highway. Drivers that cant handle the min speed should take a side road...Damn! I believe the min speed is like 45 on the Interstates.
Thanks for listening.
