I remember that page, although it's been many years since I read it. I'm surprised it is still around. Good info there, and it's techniques like those that are really needed to complement a radar detector. Too many folks install a radar detector and assume that is all they need to do to avoid tickets.

Yeah, it first ran in Car and Driver somewhere in the early 90's, IIRC. And still true today.

I believe in and practice most of those rules. However I don't agree with #6, about "clumps" of traffic on the highway. They are usually just a natural occurrence caused by slow clueless drivers blocking lanes and faster but still clueless drivers who pile up behind them. You job is what I call "untying the knot", picking your way through with short sharp bursts of speed as openings occur. A car with a quick, powerful throttlw response like the S4 is ideal for this. Which is reason #3528563 that I want mine to get here soon!
