I just assume that everybody on the road but me is a complete idiot with tunnel vision and a high blood alcohol. I'm usually right.

Stay away from Trucks, stay away from clusters of cars that leave you nowhere to go if somebody happens to pull out in front of you or open the door of their car while barreling down the highway (!). Be aggressive on the road, and give yourself as much room as a car would need. Stay in the middle of the lane, or some idiot is gonna try to share it with you.

And make sure your horn is loud and in working order.
