- And when you have the right-of-way, always stay where you are for at
- least a minute to make sure you really have the right of way.

- Never use your mirrors when changing lanes. The only way to know what's
- there for sure is to stare back over your shoulder and make eye-contact
- with the driver behind you in the next lane so he/she can read your
- intentions using telepathic abilities.
