There's nothing like those 10 foot long on ramps! And lots of them, with zero shoulder room!
it used to be worse. the ramps used to be shorter.
So all of Texas is dissed, because some city slickers can't drive??
I live in DFW, there are some terrible drivers here, basically everything inside the 635 loop is horrendous. Austin is bad, I've still never seen worse than Houston though.
Phoenix was probably the best I've seen in terms of roads and conditions, though I imagine drunks and such can ruin just about anywhere.
I lived in Phoenix, and everything is wide and spaced out, which is nice. I think Toronto was pretty good, because they had dedicated lanes for people going long distances, and the inner lanes were for people exiting. Somewhat like what LA has for carpool lanes, except more lanes for the longer distance travelers. I think NY was the worse driving I've been in. It can be bumper to bumper and really aggressive. Its like they don't care if they ding you. On an occasion when I flew in, the taxi driver was fearless, but there was no accidents. Its weird, they honk and swear and faint ramming at each other, but it all works out.
I wonder daily what the hell has people in such a damn big hurry that they couldn't foresee needing more time to get wherever they're going. Or I guess they just like to drive like they own the highway.
I see people throw their hands up from the wheel like they're exasperated because they've caught up to someone in the left passing lane but don't give the people ahead of them time to change lanes before they pass them on the right.
CRAZY BASTARDS.
The Upper/Lower Deck split downtown is the result of very poor planning in the 60's.
Southbound, but this gives an idea:

Because I swear this town has to be the worst place in the country as far as the amount of mouth-breathing, oxygen deprived dipshits cruising in the passing lane. You have 2 choices, be stuck behind some Tom Cullen M-O-O-N sonofa bitch going 15 mph slower than the flow of traffic in the passing lane, creating a giant cluster-fuck of a dangerous congested mess waiting for them to get the fuck over when 90% of the time they don't until their exit is a brake slamming 500 feet away; OR you can just pass the asshole the first chance you get, get into a clear spot ahead in traffic, and chill the fuck out.
Is this the "MOPEC"?
The red car at 4:40...what a jackass!
Speed and power is initiative! That's right, **** all the other idiots on the road, because they will probably screw you over in some way, shape or form. Best to just get around them and get in the right lane to cruise at traffic speed until you have to pass another idiot who thinks they can get away with going 55 MPH in a 65 MPH zone.
No, this is Mopac (named after the adjacent Missouri-Pacific railroad):

It runs parallel to I-35, on the west side of town, and doesn't run far past city limits.
Par for the course, unfortunately.
Thats right Nancy! You teach those big ole' mean people on the road! Keep them in their place, you don't like em going fast so just block their way and cost em money, right?
Let me ask you, if you aren't passing in the passing lane, just what the fuck exactly are you doing there?
Also, you know some people have these things called jobs... sometime these 'jobs' require them to be on the road to do this thing called 'work'; the longer they take to do this 'work', the less money they get to 'earn' overall. Is that understandable?
What makes you think rednecks drive better?So all of Texas is dissed, because some city slickers can't drive??
This is why you drive near the emergency passing lane: so you can pass when everyone else comes to a stop.So, was in Austin/San Marcos over the weekend hanging out with dirty hippies and having a great time.
On the way home, traveling North I-35 from Austin, we were in bumper to bumper traffic going 70 mph. I'm not sure what causes YA'LL to think that is a great idea, but you continue to get in horrible car accidents and cause all sorts of mayhem.
Going through Austin, something caused the 70mph traffic to come to a screeching halt. Our van made a safe smooth transition from 70 to 0 unscathed. However, the driver next to us wasn't so lucky.
We hear a horrible screeching of tires. As I look over, I notice the SUV make its way towards the concrete divider to avoid hitting cars around him (namely us). The front of the SUV exploded into hundreds of pieces and the SUV whipped around and around. It caused a huge accident, just feet away from me.
Slow down and pay attention, everyone, everywhere, please. This guy made it out all right, but he sure caused a big headache for everyone. And likely numerous injury for people behind him on the interstate. CRAZY BASTARDS.

/OP's driver = fail
Read the post I quoted, you dumb shit.you don't make any sense... get out more often, from you mom's basement... TX is possibly the most diverse state. Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, four totally different cities..
