Texas drivers SUCK!

[TXARGUY]

I hate it when I pass some one on my work truck(speed monitored by gps) and as I check my mirror to move back to the left lane a car jumps in and start passing, after that it's almost impossible to get back over.

That was probably me. My bad.

Bad driving is pretty much nationwide.

I do notice more curtious drivers on small rural roads.

 

[orbitup]

I've been a lot of places and driven among the worst.
I may get flamed but here goes.
North Carolina. Best drivers in the nation.
Not a skill thing just some common sense.
Them folks understand "merge" and "lane closed".
It just seems to work better there.

I drive there occasionally. It’s not too bad, but I just skirt south of Raleigh going east.

I think that's most of us. Although I do try to give them plenty of time to get back in the right lane, before I decide to pass them on the right.

Is it just me, or do San Antonio drivers love stopping in the ACCELERATION lane to get onto the highway? I only ever see it in San Antonio.

This x1000

I have seen some serious crashes in San Antonio. And have been stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on a Sunday afternoon. It seems there are a lot of rubberneckers.

I'm now having to do a lot of driving on 1604 between Helotes and Universal City because of where my wife and I work and where we live and experiencing the worse traffic I ever have in Texas. Looking for places over in that area now.

Dallas drivers seem to get me riled the most, if you hit your blinker someone will speed up to block the opening and it is almost guaranteed if you have a trailer they will park themselves beside the rear axle so you can't get in front of them.

I think a lot of it has to do with how certain ramps are set up in the area, nothing like trying to cross 4 lanes of bumper to bumper traffic to catch an exit that's only a quarter mile from the on ramp you just took to get on the highway.

OK, I have to ask -- what is the deal where some dumbass redneck is doing 50 in a 65 in the left lane, and when you blow by him in the right lane he has to flash his lights repeatedly? Like "oh my God I have to warn this guy that he's going such a high speed". WTF is up with that?

Using your blinker in Dallas traffic is just giving up your battle plan.

 

[alexrex20]

maybe he's warning that you didn't see the speed limit sign drop from 65 to 50 as you pulled into town lol

 

[Shotgun Jeremy]

San Antonio pisses me off because nobody does the speedlimit...as in it seems like everyone does UNDER it. I always assumed it was because a lot of them are illegals and are afraid of getting pulled over

As far as those two times they sped up as I tried to pass-yea, I was wishing I had a turbo-charged car again. I wonder how hard it would be to turbo an 04 Blazer

That's why yall need to try the Alexrex20 special. It's especially effective if you're in a bigger vehicle than them. If there was a very reasonable gap for you get over, you used your turn signal, and they still sped up to block you... Get over anyway.

I'm sorry, but I am taking that lane!

People are stupid all over. Pretty much everywhere I have been... drivers suck. It's not just Texas.

But TEXAS DRIVERS DO SUCK!

you're better off swapping in a GenIII/IV LS motor. an LQ9 ought to do it, but a 420hp L92 would be better

I plan on putting an LS in my 69 p/u. It needs a little work before I get to that point though.

You still looking for a transmission?

 

[alexrex20]

I have a 392 GMPP LSX in my Audi.

 

[orbitup]

Nah, I'll just update the drivetrain and sell the 400 that's in it. You interested?

 

[TimberWolf7.62]

I really don't have a lot of trouble passing traffic.

 

[alexrex20]

that should take care of the folks that like to speed up while getting passed.

it needs more LS
