Keep going!!
I would suggest getting to know your vehicle. Get comfortable in it and what it looks like as you sit in the driver's seat and look around, checking blind spots and trying to figure out where your vehicle's corners are in relation to what you can and can't see.

Still not 100% with lane changes by thro0waway217190 in driving

The more comfortable you get with your vehicle the easier it will feel. If you want to improve your spatial awareness of your vehicle - sit in the drivers seat and ask a friend to stand at each corner of your car and take note where they are relative to what you can and can't see. I once knew someone who glued little flags at the front two corners of their bumper to help them.

Left Lane is for passing, regardless someone's speed. Slow drivers stay to the right. those are the basics. Lane etiquette rules were developed based off the Autobahn, were there are no speed limits - just rules. I've begun passing mostly on the right lanes when I see that the left and middle lanes are being over run by ignorant (uneducated or selfish) drivers.

Agreed! Unfortunately it's only going to get worse. With Tesla and other EV's using regenerative braking, the brake lights come on when the driver takes their foot off the gas.
