Good topic. I use some of those same techniques. The only one that people seem to have problems with is point number four.

While approaching a bend in the road that most people would brake for, I gradually reduce speed, eliminating the need to brake, and hopefully reducing the need to brake for those following behind.

Even when I am above the listed speed limit I am invariably passed by following vehicles on more than a two lane road. Example: Going into a posted 35mph curve I might be coasting down and still be doing 40+mph. The vehicle behind me accelerates to pass and often is back up to 50+ by the time it actually gets to the curve. It's not that the curve can't handle the 50mph speed, it's just that the posted limit is 35 for safety reasons. Everybody's in a hurry. Oh well.
