For several years I rode with a club and of course, pace lines were a big part of every ride. I apply the same principles to driving. Don’t do anything quick or unexpected. When slowing, slow gradually. Always look far ahead regardless of who is ahead of you to better anticipate potential issues. Signal to others hazards so they can react appropriately ( in my vehicles, when I see stopped traffic ahead on a two lane highway going I will momentarily use my emergency flashers <like Europeans do> to alert others I will be coming to a full stop). I don’t tailgate so that if I need to stop quickly, the inattentive car in back doesn’t pile into me (yeah, I know pace lines suck wheels but I also know who I am riding with). I try to be courteous and defensive even when driving rather spiritedly in my sports car.
