I have seen 10 times more comments from the left mad that the Trump assassin missed than I have seem from leftists mad he tried in the first place. I think the only reason that guy has not be lionized is that he failed, a few inches to the right and the left would be trying to build statues of him.

Briefly, I'd say my opinion is Yes to 1 and 2, no to the others, though in practice I only consistently do 1. I do think the speed limit should at least be used as a guide and if you are doing more than 15 over you should seriously rethink that. I can see why you would agree with 5, but that sort of thing seems likely to result in accidents more consistently than the other options. Someone being a dick does not give you the right to behave in dangerous ways, and the correct behavior is to slow down and merge behind them instead, and thinking otherwise frankly strikes me as the behavior of a petulant child.
As with many things I think the issue is not that it is a perfect replacement, but rather that it reaches some minimal level. So porn is not as good as sex, but it is easier, and because the gauge is getting filled up just enough it makes the effort needed to get sex feel less worth it.
It takes effort to get good things, but once you have them it is totally worth it. But access to very easy quick, but worse, substitutes crowds out the effort needed to get the good version. So porn substitutes for sex, video games substitute for real accomplishment, social media substitutes for actual community and friendship, etc.
