The 'accordian effect'... Hateful! I generally 'read' the 2 (or 3) cars ahead to try and avoid it. Especially relevant on the M'way here as often the traffic slows from 70+ to 30 for no reason what-so-ever!
I have to say i rarely look at my speedo but i do watch mirrors, verges (for anything... people, animals, etc), telegraph poles (generally follow the curves of the road), and i can almost drive my 55 miles or so daily commute without needing to use my brakes (in general the only time i need to use them is for road ends, roundabouts, etc).
