 Highway driving it's pretty simple. I don't believe in speed limits so I would travel at the speed you feel comfortable. Judge how fast you are moving compared to the average speed of the vehicles around you. If you were bobbing and weaving through the traffic and your way above the posted speed limit you might want to take some meditation classes. I know it could feel like the traffic is moving slowly and you can make much better time through this but you need to chill the fuck out and get in line and wait. Getting home the extra few minutes faster it's not worth getting a ticket or killing anyone over. Fast cars keep to the left slow cars keep to the right. Fast cars should not press slow cars. Slow cars should recognize that they are the slow cars and check mirrors often and move out of the way.  When passing an entrance make room for merging cars. When merging look for a gap or beat the merge but not diddle. They are moving fast and its your job not to slow them down ever. You might have to move faster.  Here's where all the extra money you paid in horsepower and torque comes in. If you have to use the brake while on the highway you were not paying attention.  If you don't feel comfortable or you have trouble seeing or your reflexes are diminished you should not drive.  No radio.  No texting.  It won't be long and you will be thankful you once again arrived home safe.  You don't want end up hamburger being shoveled from the payevment.  Remember even grandama is out there be kind to other cars as you would if walking down the block.  Oh here's a tip on round abouts they replace a stop sign. Always look for pedestrian they have first right of way.  Keep driving as long as your path is clear.  Slow down to time merging into the circle.  If a car is already in the circle it has right of way.  If there are multiple lanes in the round about stay in the outer most lane until you become an expert.  Use those blinkers to declare intent.  You are a weapon amongst weapons respect the responsibility of ensuring everyone gets home safe.
