Does San Antonio have the worst drivers in the US? (Houston: amusement park, high school)

[TXStrat]

So, I wanted to float an observation and see if anyone else had experienced similar behaviors. My observation is not limited to San Antonio as it has been witnessed in Seattle/Tacoma, NOVA/DC area, Houston, Dallas, and other areas. The most inconsiderate, aggressive, and reckless drivers on the road all have something common. They all have the Christian fish symbol on the back of their cars. Now, before the witch hunt starts, I consider myself a Christian as well, so I am in no way condoning the wholesale bashing of a religion. Just an observation that drivers with the fish on the rear of their vehicles will be the first to:
1. Cut you off on a highway
2. Aggressively and blatantly try to snake a parking spot you've been waiting on with turn signal on
3. Pull out in front of you
4. Fail to use turn signals....ever.
5. Get into the right lane at a stoplight where you can turn on red, only to sit through the light so they don't have to wait behind someone in the center lane.
6. Weave on the highway, use the horn way too frequently, use the brakes to "punish" other drivers.

These are just some of the traits off the top of my head. The only driver out there that is more dangerous, would be the operator of a Prius, with the fish, and a "coexist" sticker on the back. These moon-bats are the harbinger of the apocalypse. If you see one, just get off the highway.

I have been cut off by more people with the fish symbol on sunday mornings as they race to church than i can count.

C'mon, let's not veer off-course here... afterall, regardless of what our belief preference is, we're still all humans first... that can drive... or not.

^^ Word.

So, good job guy (sarcastically) who decided at the last second possible for neuron reaction to go from the left farthest lane of 410 south to his exit at San Pedro thus causing an accident for the car and truck behind you in the middle lane. I didn't know I was in living in "your" world.

Jebus. I couldn't believe it. I saw the whole thing and narrowly escaped getting rear ended myself. hopefully someone else got a partial or something. I know myself, as a witness, didn't get a good full one. And hopefully both drivers can get their cars repaired. I await an insurance investigator phone call.

Yesterday I witnessed a woman in her car trying to find to find a parking spot WHILE TEXTING. She had her elbows on the wheel with her phone in her hands. What. The. ****. I honked my horn and ended up shouting at her. What a stupid person. I don't care if you're only cruising along, any little kid could quickly run out from behind a car that is already parked.. I despise humanity at times, I really bloody do.

Drive down Potranco Road toward Hunt Lane during rush hour---especially the mornings. Right now the right lane is closed due to construction. I have witnessed people cruising down the turn lane to cut people off at the front of the light almost colliding with people sitting in the turn lane waiting to turn because people block intersections. I have witnessed people sitting in the turn lane after coming out of the surrounding neighborhoods waiting patiently to merge in to the lanes only to witness someone driving down the turn lane veer into the oncoming traffic lane to go around these wiating vehicles just to move up to the front to cut people off.

Amen. It is almost as though I am back in Dorset, "where the tractors are" again. Though I never fully got the apprehension to bringing thr M-27 to Poole or Bournemouth.

Yes, SAT has the most discourteous drivers I have ever seen. Extremely selfish. I've never seen so many people actually RACE for the next red light so the person next to them doesn't cut them off. People acting like High Schoolers with rice burners and nitro. I've already seen someone smash their brand new car with the temp paper license plate into the car in front of them because they were trying to cut in front of a pickup. So many idiots on these local roads.

People need time management skills. If you're always late in the morning get up earlier moron.

My family has witnessed this same behavior in many other aspects. People cutting each other off to get in the checkout line at grocery stores or amusement parks.

My parents live in Waco, and I absolutely hate the drive on 35 between Temple and Waco. It's 2 lanes, filled with idiots. Coming back Saturday afternoon, a guy is driving along with a trailer filled with stuff (and a tarp covering it) going 60 in the left lane. Of course, in the right lane are semis, and all the while, I was praying that I didn't hit anyone or get hit. Then after I got past that one, there was another....and another....and another. Thankfully, I made it past there, but everytime I drive up there, I want to scream!

Agreed. Used to live in Temple, and there are more wrecks, usually involving 18 wheelers, between Temple and Waco than anywhere else I have seen.
