The problem with your scenario is that there is almost no chance of that happening. What is far more common is someone driving 65 to 70 mph with someone catching up to them with a 25 to 30 mph differential tops (the differential will be typcially around 15 to 20 mph at most).
Given the road geometry of most interstates someone going 30 miles faster than you will be spotted about 15 seconds in advance. Someone going 15 mph faster will be spotted 30 seconds in advance. In either case, it gives the person in front plenty of time to make a decision.
Many times, I'll hear the argument that the person in front is going as fast as he feels safe to do. I don't believe that for a minute. I, for one, rarely drive as fast as I possibly can on an interstate. Even if I'm going 85 to 90 mph, I can speed up by 25 mph for short periods of time if needed. This would indicate that I'm driving at least 25 mph slower than I could be going if I was driving as fast as I possibly could.
This would indicate that someone going 70 mph could easily speed up to 85 mph for short periods of time when needed.
