YOU cannot rely on anyone else to drive safely, sensibly, or responsibly, even though they should. In a life time of driving I learned lessons almost daily, and very rarely came across another driver (on the road) whom I would trust. When I did the memory stayed with me.
When relatively new to long distance driving I would some times find I was letting other people influence my driving by reacting to their actions. I put a stop to that.

Quick, not fast. Observation, anticipation, acceleration were my mottos.

Keep your attention on the road, not on your passenger or mobile phone, use the information your eyes gather to make rapid decisions when necessary. It could save your life.

Here endeth the lesson.
