Only an idiot needs to use their brakes to slow down. The reason it is called throttle control is because you have control of the throttle. If you had to use brakes that means you didn't judge your speed from the object you are trying not to hit. Give yourself room. For everything else there is cruise control. And it saves gas.

Steady speed (cruise control), then zero throttle to coast to stop. Brake to park. Smooth continuous acceleration like a bat out of hell right up to the speed limit. Now back to steady speed. (Never spin the tires over accelerating. Cops don't appreciate it and the marks just told them what you did.)

Although you are the driver, you are still a passenger. This vehicle will move you through space and time. There is no rush. Lock the cruise control and experience the curves engineers work hard to create.

If you are changing lanes you should always give cars the right of way, always fall behind them unless the other driver somehow communicates otherwise. If you have to pass you are speeding.

Which lane should I be in? If you are doing the speed limit stick to the right (us).

When you lock in cruise control at the speed limit, its fun to pick out which car will get a ticket when the hidden police car darts out. Speeders are obvious.

Forget texting, forget eating, forget even talking.

Focus and drive.
And you might make it home alive.
