I'd gotten into the habit of, while on a hill, watching if a car was approaching from the rear and letting off on the brakes a little. Some people really like to creep up, so I did just enough to let them know that I'm going to roll back a bit when I get going. Sure enough, a lot of people gave me extra room. I've been on some brutal hills at stop signs and even after driving stick for 15 years, I don't look forward to them.
