Here in Massachusetts and Rhode Island there are no driving ethics at all. The drivers are talking on their phones, texting, or even watching phone video while driving well over the speed limit cutting and weaving through traffic. For me staying in the second lane, supposed travel lane, and keeping up with the majority of traffic is my best defense. The toughest thing is trying to keep a little braking space in front of me. If I open it up a little some jerk jumps in front of me and hits the brakes. Very frustrating. So whenever I can I take secondary roads around what I know to be the busiest areas, even though it and miles and time to my run.
