    When I was learning to drive at the age of 30, the first time I went on the highway, my friend teaching me flipped the rear view mirror up and sternly declared, “Never look back.”

      That’s terrible advice

      You should always be absolutely vigilant of your surroundings and checking your mirrors often. Especially on the highway.

      The roads are full of people who shouldn’t have a driver’s license and your goal is to not have to find out how bad their insurance is.

        Yep, for sure. She was making a very specific point at the time, about not letting cars behind you pressure you into going faster than you feel comfortable.

          Ah yeah now that’s good advice right there

          Don’t let them pressure you, they’re in a hurry not you. And if you’re going too slow for them they’ll eventually go around.
