Roadlogging for Not screwing Up on the Highway

The October 19th List Universe www.listserve.com had a list of ten tirings that can help you get where you're going safely. Always a good idea.

10. Drive defensively.
9. Use cruise control (always like to, but not in heavy traffic)

8. Be reasonable when merging (This makes me madder than anything else. I admit that I have gotten over into the merging lane to keep idgets from racing ahead to get in line. They're evidently TOO GOOD to wait like the other riff-raff)
7. Two second rule (between you and the car in front of you)

6. The other two second rule ( Being impaired by intoxication, or distraction is a serious problem)
5. Look ahead as far as you can

4. Glance before changing lanes (Amazingly, I have started to pull over and a sudden horn blast scared me. I swear I didn't see them.)
3. Stay to right, pass on the left

2. Drive the REAL speed limit
1. Don't tailgate unless you're in a parking lot (Amen to that)

I hate to admit it, but at times I've been very guilty of almost all of these.
