1. in traffic, when the car in front of me moves forward just by a foot or two...i don't follow it unless tuloy tuloy na daloy ng lane. yun nga lang, the car to your left or right will most probably try to cut into your lane with that extra foot or two of space in between you & the car in front of you. bwiset!
2. i lower the output of the sub (head unit feature) when driving. it kinda reduces engine stress. i notice that my engine responds significantly slower when the sub output is high (for high wattage subs)
3. i have this technique (in A/T cars) with the gas pedal. i don't slowly press down on the accelerator, i sort of tap it & leave my foot on the pedal to get it up to speed (don't really know if this helps. technique ko lang. hehehe)
