I find it amazing how many people will take the freeway for a 3-mile trip in town. I avoid the freeway unless travelling a long distance. I keep to the right and do the speed limit. I'm probably an annoyance to some other freeway users, but I keep out of the way.
Many years ago I delivered pizza for a living. I was the typical maniac on the road then. Although my driving record was quite good, much of that was probably luck.
I avoid freeways too unless I am in a time crunch and need to cover distance. I much prefer to follow the old US highways or state roads. I often search out old road maps in antique or thrift stores and see if I can even find some the old roads, kind of like trying to follow the original Route 66, much of it has become access roads or parking lots along I-40.
