I pride myself on being an outstanding driver. I've only gotten 2 speeding tickets and both were in 1998/1999 when I was new to driving.
Here are some things I've learned:
>If you're speeding, try not to go more than 5 mph because cops usually wont bother you for that much.
>Use your mirrors constantly.
>Be familiar with the road your traveling.
>If you're approaching an off ramp, look behind you because sometimes cops wait there.
>If you're approaching an overpass from a road beneath it, check it because cops sometimes wait there.
>Be careful when cresting a hill or rounding a sharp turn because those are popular speed trap areas.
>If a car is approaching behind you quickly, assume it's a cop and slow down until it passes.
>If a car is driving faster than you and suddenly slows down, take note. Maybe they have a radar detected or saw something you didn't.
>If you see a car with several antenna it could be a CB radio enthusiast or a cop.
>NEVER speed in a residential neighborhood or residential back roads because kids or pets can appear out of nowhere very quickly.

If you're getting sleepy...
>5 hour energy shots work best for me for short periods.
>Carry a voice recorder and compose music or come up with the theme for a story or just ramble.
>Play angry music on high volume.

I treat all drivers as if they're my spiritual brothers and sisters, meaning I am extremely polite at all times. And just because someone behaves rudely to me, I give them the benefit of the doubt and don't act in kind (maybe their dog died or their kid is in the hospital).
I also drive for myself and everyone else on the road. I take note of their behavior. If someone is swerving, for instance, I don't want to be caught beside them.

If you're driving the speed limit or slower, stay in the slow lane (in the US that's the right hand lane). BUT, if a big rig (18 wheeler) is coming up on you quickly and you can merge into the fast lane, do so. It's easier for cars to merge than the bigger beasts.

Some things I've noticed from driving a 40 foot long RV with a 20 foot car trailer in tow:
>If you're in the fast lane, trying to merge in front of a big rig and he flashes his lights at you, he's giving you the "All's clear".
>If you let a big rig pass you and his brake lights flash, he's saying "thank you".
>If a car insistently flashes their blinker but doesn't turn, check your own blinker. You might have forgotten to turn it off.
>If a car flashes their headlights at you, they're likely telling you to turn on your own lights lol


So, what all have you learned?
BTW, most of these tips are for interstate driving. In WV, interstate speed is 70 mph while RR speed is anywhere from 50-65 mph.
