In no particular order....

follow 2-3 seconds back from the car ahead (4+ in slippery conditions)

don't speed like I do 8^)

Always give way to aggressive drivers

Don't "push" red lights.

Don't assume a green light for means someone won't still run the red

Be aware of blind corners, brows of hills etc.

See the big picture of what's goin on and anticipate

BUt she is always telling me not to do rolling stops at stop signs (we live in a small town), not to speed, accelerate fast, corner quickly, etc. Hope she pays attention to all this stuff while she's flying solo.!
