| Great idea, unless it turns out to be you Boss!
While the chances of being tailgated by your boss is slim, I could see it happening.
Several years ago, when I working for NEC, I often saw co-workers as I was driving to work. One day I left for work quite work early (about 4:45 AM) and there were few cars on the road. I was cruising along just under 70, when I noticed a car entering the freeway at one of the on-ramps. I really didn't think anything of it, but with-in seconds, this car pulled behind me, and began tailgating. What surprised me was that there were almost no other cars on the road, and this vehicle could have easily passed me using either the of the other lanes! In any case, I sped up to 75. The vehicle behind me sped up as well! Thinking that it might be a coincidence, I sped up to 80, reasoning that either the person in the vehicle was purposely harassing me, or it was a coincidence. To my surprise, at 80 mph, the vehicle behind me was still on my tail! At that point, I decided that it would be prudent to move over, rather than to risk a ticket. I moved over, and began slowing. As I did, I looked over and recognized the pickup truck! I saw that the driver was a female co-worker with whom I worked closely. The vehicle took off down the road. Later while working beside my co-worker, I confronted her about the incident. She said she didn't know what I was talking about. I describe the situation in detail from my perspective, but she didn't seem to remember the occurrence. I believed her as I figured that she didn't even realize what she was doing, only because she often seemed spacey at work.
While she wasn't my boss, I can see how a situation with the boss could have occurred all the same!
