I didn't really have time to stop and call anyone so I just let it be, but earlier today I encountered a psychopath in an 18-wheeler. He was coming out of a weigh station behind another truck - who was already up to the speed limit - when he decided to cross over the solid white lines to pass on the left while still on the one-lane on-ramp. The other truck was forced onto the shoulder, at which point our subject decided to back off. Once he was properly behind the other truck again, though, he got within five feet of it, going around 70 mph, (and that's no exaggeration. I slowed down significantly expecting a crash.) and just hung out around there until I made my way around, at which point he merged into my lane without signalling and followed me closely enough that I could only see his grille in my mirror. He stayed behind me until we came across an accident scene with police, and then he backed off and took the very next exit. Neither I nor the other trucker did anything to upset him, but it seems like his only goal was to cause both of us to crash.
Also there was a truck towing a car with the magnetic taillights switched. That way when he signaled right, the tow car signaled left. I tried to catch up to tell him, but he was too fast. Hopefully didn't cause any problems.

Yes, he was obviously in a struggle with the hooker he was trying to murder and needed police assistance.

Pretty sure that guy tried to run me off the road once too... Of course, it could be any trucker who had a bad day.

Or the girl he had kidnapped and used as a sex slave was trying to escape. (truckers can be really creepy sometimes)

I've always wondered, if I saw something obviously illegal on the highway, who do I report I to or call?

State police or highway patrol. Some places have signs that will say 'State Police, call #XXX'. If you don't know their number directly you can call 911 tell them what's going on and they will transfer you or just pass the info on for you.

Can you believe the nerve of some people, trying to leave a well rewarding career of being a rest area sex slave? Murder them all, enforcement of discipline needs to be stringent.
