Show a little consideration for your fellow man or woman. I was reminded of that lesson this morning by the guy driving the giant dump truck that was pulling out of a driveway in front of me. Instead of continuing out ahead of me and leaving me behind him on a two lane road he stopped and waved me on ahead. A quarter of a mile further on he was already out of sight behind me. Now he could have just kept pulling out and I would have been stuck behind him for a very long and slow drive; but, no. He did me a small favor and I thank him.
I do usually try and drive this way as well and I'm sure most people don't even notice. If someone is trying to get out into traffic and I'm the only car they're waiting for I'll change lanes so they can pull out. People need to merge? Let's go. I slow down and open up big gaps and let the people go. I do try and keep moving as not to aggravate the drivers directly behind me; but traffic moves a lot better if we can all keep moving forward. If we could all see our way to being kind drivers and allowing others to join the queue we might all get there a little faster.
If you are looking to speed up your life get a Tolltraxx and skip the toll booth (if you can find one)
