Tailgating Tanker
On my travels in the last week I encountered this tanker weaving through traffic at will. While his placard is 1203 which could be a number of fuels other than gasoline, he is still flammable. Most likely he is or was hauling biodiesel or ethanol. Biodiesel has a flash point around 300 degrees F and ethanol in it's many varieties is under 100 degrees F. A temperature not that hard to achieve when you have a car stuck under you while moving at 70 plus MPH. A side ways car causes a bunch of sparks when the tires are ground off. With that in mind, a little caution would be well advised.
Here he is catching up to traffic in a hurry. The speed limit on 494 is 60MPH while most are traveling around 65 to 70 MPH.
494 and 100 can be a confusing interchange for those who don't travel through here a lot.

Way Too Close
This isn't the best lane change one can make. Mirrors are on your car for a reason.
What can you do?
