AMEN!

The third verse of 'The Foamite Song' (see [ngdiscussion.net]) is based on an actual incident which I observed when chasing #3985 in the Feather River Canyon in September, 1992.  The song's location was changed to Cumbres Pass for the C&TS 40th B.D. Party in 2010.  And, as has been noted above, it's not just foamers who cause problems on highways.  Even professional drivers sometimes create dangerous situations – see the second paragraph on [ngdiscussion.net].
