OK, so nothing really new or amazing. Just how it should be.
My dad taught me, if you're on a road with 2 lanes and a nice shoulder, stay in the right lane, because then you can move to the left lane or shoulder instead of hitting something or going into oncoming traffic (depends upon conditions, obviously). If it's 3 lanes, like a highway, then stick to the middle lane because that will give you a lane in either direction in case you need to avoid something. So he taught me to always think about having someplace to go. And the rest was also taught from my dad (had been a cop, so probably had some training) and driver's ed, don't watch right in front of you, watch down the road, be aware of everything around you, front sides and rear, don't zone out, etc...
I just didn't get it with the fun mnemonic or fancy name.
Thanks
