My commute is congested city freeways now so I've slowed down. For road trips, I still keep a V1 hardwired at the headliner but Waze is far and away the best countermeasure today.
These timeless tips help as well.
Know your route.
Keep a faster car (rabbit) ahead of you.
Watch for brake lights in traffic ahead.
Be careful cresting hills or blind curves.
Slow down entering smaller towns.

Out where I drive on open rural dual highways I used to be the (BMW) Rabbit. Annoying as shit because the Trailers would trail too close, leaving them no time or distance in the case the Rabbit (me) encountered a deer. My method for Trailers, just for fun, was to abruptly change lanes and drop anchor at full anti-lock. To see the Trailer panic with a WTF look on their face was just fucking priceless. 🤣🤣🤣
