-Ridge ride to alert some drivers.
-Set yourself a reasonable minimum speed for the conditions.
-Set flashers on solid if you get really slow and can't gain speed without wasting a lot of fuel.
-Stick to right lane only.
-In dense traffic, like the commuteing hour, just don't do it.
Good tips. I regularly do all of these.
