1. B-smoooooooffffvvv. NEVER make any SUDDEN control inputs. Don't STOMP on the gas. Don't SLAM on the brakes. Don't YANK on the steering.

2. Momentum is better than POWER. Rolling stops, when you can get away with them, will keep you from getting stuck at an intersection.

3. The raw-egg-rule. Drive like you have an uncooked egg (ummm... STILL in the shell, naturally) under your foot. This compliments rule #1. Be gently with the gas and brakes, in other words.

4. Keep your eyes moving. Nothing should surprise you. NOTHING!!! Be aware of EVERY possible reason you may have to speed up, slow down, or change directions. Prepare early for doing any of those actions (also supports rule #1, which is why its rule #1).

5. If you do get stuck, try to "rock" it out. Forward & back, forward and back, forward and back... Keep your wheel as straight as you can, while rocking. Only turn it if/when you absolutely have to.

6. Wear your most powerful good-luck talisman!!!
