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:
QUOTE
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!

Fast lane, huh? Let me get out my Texas Traffic Code and see where it talks about that. Oh, it's not in there. Damn. Then I guess I'll keep doing what I do and people will slow down or buy me a new truck.

Exactly... and thats why i hope people like you die in horrible accidents. (lol and you'll end up causing a traffic back up anyway)

Oh and ever seen the signs "slower cars keep right"

or how about "left land for passing"

I thought that the "slower cars keep right" was intended for people going below the speed limit, the left lane is for people going the speed limit.

It is against the law to speed even when you're passing someone, if I remember correctly from driver's ed.

I'm with James and cannonball on this one, I go the speed limit or with the flow of traffic, but if I'm in my lane and somebody flies onto my ass trying to go 80 in a 60, I'm not moving to let them by. The worst is when there is an open lane next to me and they still tailgate me, that's when I'll do my best to trap them like James said, haha. And I'm not talking about going slow to be a dick, I'm talking about following the traffic law.
