Driving slow, leaving early and arriving early. I usually drive a bit below the speed limit, and always follow speed limit signs. It keeps people safe, even if their own impatience makes them tailgate eachother 10 cars in a row behind me. Some people like to be in a hurry when they drive and don't know how to relax and drive calmly, I've never been sure why.
I'm with you minus the driving below the speed limit thing.
Why would you do that?
Literally zero down side and it's safer.
In my experience this results in more people trying to pass because they don't have too much extra time to go below the limit. More passing equals more potentially dangerous situation, at least if there are no extra lane and passing is on the oncoming traffic lane. So there's at least one downside imho.
