Don't Cross the Solid White Line -
The solid white line is there for a reason: wait till you are past the solid line before you change lanes. Think about it: you are going around somebody you can go around a little later, and irritating all kinds of people when you do it.
Don't Drive Next to a Bus -
or a truck, they cannot see you! They have an extended blind spot. Remember your blind spot? Many people have forgotten about them. Drivers of most large vehicles have the ability to detect a vehicle driving next to them with electronics, but don't take a chance! drop back behind them or go around them!

SPEEDING ON I-25
Now that T-Rex has some nice wide lanes and smooth driving, the traffic has edged up, up, up. Driving through what used to be the narrows, we now go fast, fast, fast. Faster than the normal 10-miles-an-hour-over-the-speed-limit. I guess it's true, the nicer the road the faster we will go. I always have to get out of the left lane if I only want to go 65 now.
THE REAL SPEED LIMIT seems to be 10 over the posted limit. I used to think it was maybe 20% over, but now people go 45 in a 35 zone, 65 in a 55. Apparently only a school zone or a police car can make us go anywhere close to the speed limit.
