Dallas and traffic Options

[jonathan83]

Ok so I'm visiting my sister in McKinney (north of Plano) and actually I was a bit nervous because I had never driven in Dallas traffic. Honestly, the biggest city I had driven in was Lubbock, so you can imagine.

However, I've been here 2 days now, and oh my gosh. PEOPLE ACTUALLY USE BLINKERS.

People know how to drive...and they are NICE and let you in when you use your blinker too! I think I've fallen in love with this place just because of the drivers.

Oh, and right after I decided to make this thread, I read this story on CNN about how the worst city with road rage is Miami, and this is what else they say:

The most courteous drivers can be found in Portland, Oregon; Pittsburgh; the Seattle-Tacoma area; St. Louis; and Dallas-Fort Worth, the survey found.

So I'm not making it up!

I don't see how slowing down traffic to the speed limit, not slower, but at, creates a more dangerous condition. But hey, you keep making excuses for your road rage and let me know when you feel like taking responsibility for yourself.

hahaha you thought i was refering to myself being a speed demon... funny. I at max go 5 over... road rage to the max i know. But what i DO while on the road is make it safer by moving over for faster moving traffic.

And if you can't see how slowing down people going faster is dangerous (while in the fast lane!) then you really need to learn to drive better.
