Just moved here a month ago
and the first thing i noticed was the horrible drivers!
y'all drive 55 on the fast lane on the interstate like everyday's Sunday driving! If you see someone trying to turn into a different lane let them in! and why does everyone literally stop on the freeway when they see an accident or police lights, like they want to watch everything and cause another accident by being careless of the drivers who got to get places on time! its so frustrating and gives me road rage!


sorry just wanted to give a quick rant about that!

I'm assuming you're accustomed to Valley drivers--ya know--the ones who drive 70 mph down 10th St, or the ones making the right hand turns from the left lane, or the ones trying to run you off the road, or . . .

Sorry to say but it is terrible and thats just how El Paso drivers are. They suck. Just wait for the patented move where you turn on your blinker and they speed up to not let you in. I really hate the freeway because when you do 65 it feels like a Nascar driver going in and out of lanes. I actually do more passing on the right of people because they are doing 55 on the left like you said. Its terrible.

El Paso's horrible drivers result from bad drivers from south of the border coupled with even worse drivers from New Mexico. I remember visiting Kirtland Air Force Base over the summer and we had a briefing over how terrible New Mexico drivers are.
That coupled with a bunch of speed traps and strict cops, and you get bad drivers in El Paso
plus Texas drivers are generally pretty aggressive when it comes to letting people into lanes etc.

You just have to adapt and overcome. I used to think Colorado drivers were the absolute worst when I first moved to the state a few years ago. I eventually got used to them.

I just got done reading a similar thread about Lubbock at another forum. Bad drivers are everywhere.

Where should I start to comment about these "so-call" drivers, they wiill not learn until a few road rage incidents occur. The good thing is that we have over 24k of real american drivers just came to town, so just sit back and laugh
