I just romp the pedal, get up to about 85-90, look back as I pull away from them then get over.

Good Topic, perfect timing! I just witnessed a 3 car accident on the way to work tonight. Traffic was way backed up at a big intersection by my house so Whilst I stopped I checked my mirror to see if the really old lady behind was going to stop. Well she stopped with plenty of room to spare but the 2 cars behind her didn't.
No one was hurt and I did make it to work on time.
