a few years ago I was on the NY Thruway one evening and this yahoo in an Infiniti SUV kept passing me at 85, then slowing down to about 70 and pulling into the right lane. This went on for about 20 miles and included assorted weaving. I thought he was tired or drunk.

I finally figured out he was watching a movie on a DVD screen mounted in front of the passenger seat.

I got off at my exit and mentioned it to the toll booth person. I described the car and she immediately called the state cops. Don't know what happened, but one can only hope they nailed the idiot.
