You know how many people don't even look till the last 10 feet? drives me crazy. Also because of people broke down on the side, keeps the lane changes to a minimum. I drive with the flow of traffic even if that puts me up or down 5 mph of what I want. seems to me just safer for everyone. Except Texas lol. 75-80 I let the semi;s just blow right by me but then I will stay to the right. Tailgaters or semi's I give myself extra braking distance so I can slow down slower than normal for my rear protection. And occasionally I will look down and find myself doing 80 or 50 when just cruising on an empty highway minding my own business . city streets we supposed to stay to the right but the dang low hanging trees scare me to the center. there is no fool proof way to drive, just good preparation for the drive. And don't sweat the mistakes of others. I used to be the one that had to get all jacked up about a ahole driver but it takes too much energy to get mad at a dumb azz for 10 min and brings your whole attitude behind the wheel up. now I just shake my head or make a rude comment to myself about them and stay positive. works great.
