5) Drive across the grass median to get to the feeder/outer road when highway traffic is not moving. I do this in my Chevy Impala 2wd. Usually you only see trucks or SUV's do this.

LOL I do this, funny story : I did this once in Texas; the traffic was like at a dead stop and everyone in 4x4's started jumping off the freeway over to the feeder road. It was just a patch of grass between the freeway and the feeder, but the grass had grown real tall. Anyway, I cut over in my Honda and halfway through I hear a horrible CLUNK and screeching grinding sound. So I stop and check it out. Turns out there was a highway road sign that someone had knocked over lying down in the grass. It was totally hidden and I ran right over it and it got stuck under the car.

6) If stuck behind a car in the passing lane who isn't speeding up or really even acknowledging you, don't stick to their ass, just sort of sway side to side in a non-threatening way behind them.

Another good technique is to turn on your brights at night. Don't flash them - they'll just slow down, just turn them on and leave them on, they have no choice but to get out of your way.
