Brake earlier and slower, accelerate aggressively in to your car's torque band to get best fuel efficiency when accelerating, remember that matching the pace of traffic is safer than going slower than it. Also keep plenty of distance between you and the person ahead if possible. Idk where you live imagine its tough in a city but I usually leave about two car lengths sometimes more if going fast between me and them. The speed thing you'll learn to get comfortable going faster and accelerating more( don't over do it though there is a happy medium) but its fine taking it slow at first. That's the main thing my mom taught me, when learning. Don't give a fuck it it pissed off other drivers dont do anything you aren't confident enough to do yet. Better them be pissed then cause a accident. As for the near miss with the red car. Always pay attention the best you can, main thing my step dad taught me, assume everyone around you is a idiot and will likely do something that will cause you to wreck if you don't watch what they are about to do. Another thing that just gets easier the more you do it. I've had my near misses too. One very similar to yours My mom mistakenly told me I was good and to go ahead and a car came zooming by even she hadn't noticed. Which is another point don't just blindly trust someone else's word on if your good to go. Look yourself --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
