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!

Well for me, if I'm in the middle or right lane and I'm already going 10 above the speed limit I don't feel it's necessary for me to move out of someone else's way. If someone is wanting to go that fast they can easily pass me in the left lane, but for some strange reason they choose not to and just stay on my ass. Why is that? I understand wanting to go fast, as you can see I speed too. I don't cut people off and go slow and I hate when people do that to me. So why do people ride your ass when you are already speeding and not in the left lane?

That I don't know.

I hate those people who sit on your ass when they could pass.

But... If there are open lanes next to you, go whatever speed you want.
