Flash your brake light by tapping the foot brake lightly before slowing, especially when slowing more quickly than others expect (such as before turning off a high-speed highway), where they don't expect it (mid-block), or when someone follows closely; there is no time for this in an emergency. p. 181
Don't linger beside a vehicle in its blind spot: speed up and get past quickly or drop back. p. 182
