> 1). When driving in more or less a stright line with no crossings or traffic lights close, don't just watch the car in front of you. Watch the car in front and the car in front of that one as well, so you're watching the TWO in front of you. Helps if, say, that second one suddenly dives down a side street, you can anticipate the guy in front suddenly whacking the brakes, or not as the case may be.

Excellent advice. This is also one reason that SUVs and trucks bother me--when I am behind one of them, I can't even see if there is a car in front, not to mention check out its signal lights...
