learn to get along!!!!

I try to maintain predictability to make up for excessive speed.  I never
drive more than 10 over if there's a car coming the other way - I have no
right to skew their perceptions and their information about the road by
driving far outside the expected range.  I'm still trying to calm my lone
driver habits, though.

Driving in traffic should be like a conversation - you can't just interupt
any time you disagree with anything - you listen, think, learn, say your
piece when it's your turn, respect others even though you may feel they're
not worthy of it, and maybe even come away a better person.
