I was driving home on I40 in Tenn. yesterday in the rain in a rental car. Rained from Nashville to NC line.Anyway I looked in my rear view mirror and saw a PU coming on fast. I was doing 75. He blew by me like I was sitting still pulling a pretty good size 5th wheel. Must have been doing 85 in the rain. We were amazed at how fast he got out of site. I've seen some fast towing but never like that.I hope he at least upgraded his tires.Maybe he had some kind of emergency, but it looked like he was getting ready to create one. Just a reminder to be safe on the road or stay home and watch TV. At least other drivers would be safe then. JMO

Idiot...no rhyme or reason for driving like that, in good weather conditions or bad. Even an emergency does not warrant that kind of speed. Accident waiting to happen, hurting or killing innocent people.

That's beyond stupid. I hope he got a big ticket. You do know there is a statewide number to call THP--- *847. I've done it.THP contact info

Not in anyway trying to start something, but when that happens to us we have noticed that it is almost always a toy hauler.Just an observation.

Probably a transporter making a delivery.

I assume the speed limit was 70.
So it's OK for you to speed, but not him.

Someone driving over the speed limit in America. Oh the horror. What's next, dogs and cats living together in perfect harmony?

Not a transport. They had some stuff strapped to the back. Definitely not a new one.

Not a toy hauler either. Went by so fast I didn't get a good look but I think it was a 3/4 or 1 ton dodge and a 5 th wheeler with a few years on it.

Yes I was going 5 mph over the speed limit, in a 2017 suv with the flow of traffic. Do it all the time in a non towing situation.
