Traffic speeds in TX

[dshooter]

Well, being a transplant from California, the speed limit is actually a suggested minimum. Nobody goes the speed limit. If someone does, they usually go to the most right lane. Going 10+ limit is the norm. I remember people went slower because gas prices were high. But in Houston, San Antonio or Austin, half of the drivers don't like to go above the speed limit.

What pisses me off is someone going 60 in 65 zone in 4th of 4 lanes. Whether car, pickup, or semi, I see all types of vehicles do this. Then switches to 3rd lane in front of me. Even 2nd lane sometimes. Maybe most people are relaxed and not in a hurry. But at least move to the right to spare the majority to get where they're going. I enjoy the cheaper gas prices in TX. Everything is farther away so I'd like to go fast everywhere.

4 lanes?

ds,

One thing to consider: No one here cares how you did things back in kommiefornia and mentioning such will only bring you grief.

You're in Texas now Bubba!

 

[studenygreg]

You could always go back.

Sometimes, people give a friendly wave to one another, stop to help someone stranded and even slow down to let folks merge.
Imagine the horror ...

IIRC left lane fuckery is a ticketsble offense.

Hop on I-10 and and dont stop until you hit LA. Feel free to drive as fast as you want. Any police stop you, you tell them we said its alright.

I don't like slow drivers in the fast lane, but I like popcorn & internet fights.

I drive at least the speed limit while in the most 3 left lanes. Some people don't read the signs going the triangle area.

I'm confused again.

I thought everyone here hates slow cars in the fast lane....

Hard to read the signs and the text messages at the same time.

Triangle = Houston, San Ant, Austin.

'Cause they're too busy screwing with their cell phones...

When there is someone going slow in the #1 and somebody is going as slow in the 2nd, it's pretty hard to pass them up on the right because 3rd is crowded. That's the problem.

We hate preachy Californicators more...

As a lifelong resident of Dallas, I have seen the transformation around north Texas from all the transplants (called invaders by many) from California. Everyone I talk to, read or hear from, all say the same thing, actually complain and bellyache as a good Texan is want to do. They hate the invaders because of their snotty attitudes and aggressive driving. Many of the invaders say Texans are "too friendly" and make them uncomfortable. Well, that UHaul can travel both directions and is cheaper going back.

Still complaining about Texas drivers?

Do a 180 and soon, well ok, hours and hours, you'll back where you really want to be because kommies are EXCELLENT drivers!

Either way, I love America. I'm never going back. Only to visit for important things. I love my relatively big house. A house that would cost 3x as much in the communist. They should have classes on how to text and drive.
