I had a guy tailgating me down Rt 2 the night after Hurricane Gloria in 1985.
I remembered from Drivers-Ed that you should never "out run your headlights" meaning, you should not go so fast that you won't be able to stop if something was in the roadway - like mature oak trees after a hurricane.
I pulled over and let him pass and about 30 seconds later his tailights disappeared into a downed tree.
