476 in PA, the section known as "The Blue Route" is a broken road and people drive on it like monsters. The breakdown lane becomes a normal lane of traffic during rush hour. Onramps have traffic lights to try to make people act like humans. There's this one area where there's a lane on one side for a half a mile that just appears then disappears for no discernable reason and it causes problems. It's a good place to learn how to drive.

You should only ever have to brake to stop for signs or signals or to not hit people who are driving wrong. You shouldn't ever have to brake when you're just driving. You should be able to look at what's coming along the road and adjust your use of the gas pedal to traverse any section of the road at an appropriate speed. A good fast speed, or at the very least, one that keeps up with traffic.

I wasn't advocating tailgating, I was saying use enough gas to stay a reasonable distance behind someone, and just the gas. Don't get yourself in a situation where you're driving normally and rush up then have to brake to avoid a collision, use only the gas and only an appropriate amount.

hm, this sounds reasonable, but have you considered driving faster than the person in front of you? its basically the best way to go faster than the people around you.

The gas pedal helps with that, too.
