-only drive next to them if you have to
-if you are next to them, they to be there for the shortest length of time possible (either drive faster or slower than them, never the same speed as they are going)
-if you cant see the driver, they can't see you
-try not to dive on there right side. they only have mirrors to see you with vs being able to turn there head and see you (depending on where you are on the left)
-be decisive when driving near them, you do not want to give mixed signals to confuse them
-turn on lights anytime vision is impaired
-don't tailgate them or anyone
-be defensive and let them merge when they have blinkers on. You can flash your headlights to let them know you see them and you are ok to let them come over to your lane.
-never cut them off! They require a lot more road to stop vs you so if you have to suddenly break, they will too.. SQUISH!
-watch out then they turn right! they will usually put on left blinker first to 1/2 merge into the left lane and drive on the line for a little bit. Then they will blinker right then turn right. Don't pass them up, as the tail end will swing out.
