Do not go 75 keeping up with traffic, and 90% of those problems
never
appear. The jerks do not cut you off, you get plenty of time to
brake
gently, and save wear and tear on your transmission.

I could not care less about "keeping up with traffic" when I tow
anything of significance.

A lot of problems, like icy roads, etc, are very significantly
reduced
if you go slow and keep good distance from vehicles in front of you.

I sometimes find a truck that holds speed up hills and pull in well
behind it, leaving room for others to cross and exit. No one tailgates
or cuts close in front even in heavy, irritable Boston-area rush hour
traffic.
