Most of the above isn't what I would do, but rather what I do. I think it goes along way for a safer MMP ride.
I promise to slow down and look both ways at each stop sign before rolling through, and turn my turn signal off when I get to my destination, and try not to speed more than 3 or 4 mph over the speed limit if I see a police car.
