Not stopping could save your lfe.

We were on a trip to see a time share in Virgina. During the night in the motel room while my wife was going to a bathroom, I heard a bang bump and yell. She had fallen over my size 12 tennis shoe hat I had left out in the floor. She was barely walking and having difficulty breathing. Since our insurance policy pays for an accident if reported with in 72 hours I took her to the hospital emergency room. Examination revealed she had no broke bones, but a 5 mm cyst on her lungs and a 1.5 inc h cyst on her kidney. While she was being examined outside they were having a northeaster with 80 mph winds. Following the examination, the northeaster was over. While driving back to the motel a car got right on our rear bumper and started flashing his lights and blowing his horn. I thought about it. Did I have a flat tire or was i dragging something? I could not think of anything. Now if nothing was wrong, why was this driver behind behaving like this? I slowed down from 40 then to 30 and finally 20 but I did not stop. My intent was to have him pass me. He finally stopped flashing his lights and passed me. The driver appeared to be of slight dark color with a bandanna over head like a pirate. I stopped later at a filling station and saw there was absolutely nothing wrong with my car. I also concluded that this character was planning to hijack my car. Again and again I reaffirm my suspicions when I watch true stories on the FBI files where the car is hijacked and the owner is shot so the carjacking cannot be reported. Later this car is used to rob a bank or used for some other crime.

Perhaps in the near future while you are traveling if anyone is on your rear bumper flashing his lights and blowing his horn do not stop. It could save your life.
