What I really hate about the Dallas area so far... (Fort Worth: most dangerous, legally)

There used to be 'Minimum Speed' signs but the highway department gave up with all the out-of-staters moving in.

The policy now is 'Lead, follow, or get out of the way'

This "drive better on the coasts" stuff is hilarious at best. I've driven plenty on the coasts, and generally people in the US are simply not good drivers.

And for transplants used to honking horns at people, realize that you are in a gun loving state. Not advocating violence, but its an easy way to get shot, and yes, it does happen. Be careful out there.

If you are in the left lane, you should either be passing someone or exiting. Otherwise get the heck out. Heaven forbid someone rides your bumper... Maybe you will eventually learn not to ride 2 miles in the left lane at the speed limit.

I had to look twice to make sure I hadn't posted that myself. If I end up behind someone camping in the left lane, I will drive five feet from their ass and if it's night, the high beams are coming on. Most of them get out of the way but some jackasses I ride behind for miles. This is why I took my gun out of the car, too tempting.

Call Colonel of the state police and tell them it's a pervasive problem in the state and to start enforcing the laws and ticketing folks who don't get out of the way.

Agreed. There are simply too many people in DFW jammed together. The traffic will be a big drag until the oil runs out.

The problem is, if I'm not mistaken, the law says slower traffic only has to keep right where signs are posted. We need a keep right law for all freeways.

...Or maybe driver training should include a course in Common Sense. No, wait... That MAKES too much sense! It's the same EVERYWHERE.

A few weeks ago, I saw a student driver going the speed limit in the left lane on I-20 aka the NASCAR Freeway of DFW. I just shook my head. Teaching teens how to mess up traffic flow.
