safe hypermiling

i have only been hypermilling for about3-4 months.my observations are ,,,,, it is safe,,, but not the safest way to drive (atleast the way i do it) i try not to hit the brakes Ever! that means fast cornering. i dont go above 60, that has cars streaming around both sides of me on the interstate,sometimes coming very close to try and express their displeasure with me driving "slowly" (and yes i have to be in the centerlane sometimes) .i also time redlights somtimes having to stab the brakes hard to not run a red.and i roll past stop signs to not loose all my momentum . but compared to how i used to drive ,i consider it about as safe, over 1 million miles driven and never caused an accedent.and only hit by others a few times,, so not bad in my book,,,good luck with your blog ,,and welcome to the site.
