I've lived here twelve years and have never been flipped off. I've been honked at twice.

I think part of it is I drive a really small car and all the SUV drivers ignore me...if they even see me in the first place.

well youre not as prone to aggressive drivers as i am, It takes me about 30 seconds to a full minute to get to speed limit speeds. Saddly these friggin idiots seem to want to give me a boost, when the left lane is completely open

Well, they only flip you off if you're so-so. They honk if you're hotter than them. It's a San Antonio, insecure thing. ooops thread bleed

Turns out that his dumbass was about to miss his exit (bitters) and he swerved at the last minute and knocked down the "Exit" sign, you know the one with the arrow. I was laughing it up.

My father had a saying for the nutties who haul ass past you like their butts were on fire. Whenever we saw one he'd chuckle and say "Le dem go, dey have a hot ****." With Trinidadian accent, you just can't help but laugh that one off.
He told me a story about a driver he saw driving so dang fast past him one day. Cussing and honking down the road they went- attitude and everything. A few miles later the same driver had wrecked from speeding. My dad slowed down, pulled up next to him, rolled down the windw and yelled as loud as he could (in his west indian accent) "Eh eh, is right dere yu go'in?" laughed out loud and kept going.

I can only assume that you drive the speed limit, go at green lights, merge into traffic on the highway, slow down when needed... you know, all of those "expected things" keep that up and you can go another 12 years with no middle fingers!

yea, that's what happens when you drive like you're supposed to around here...ya know, like following the speed limit, obeying the law and realizing that cars that drive slow also get to their destination as fast, if not faster, than the guys hauling ass. Ya know, red light karma...and murphy's law do not favor the wild ones on the street.

Honestly I'm one of those speeders on the highway, (when driving a personal car) my Max speed limit is 75 on the outskirts of town, and when Im in town I just take it easy, I drive on the defensive though, either I'm ahead of the clusters drivers doing 70 or I'm behind the CD'ers doing 60 as long as I'm safe.

that of course depending on the car I drive, If I'm In my Trans Am I take it easy and drive it slow, so people can turn their heads to admire its beauty

I recorded another video but the quality was a little c.....

It was a cop cruising on the left lane on 281 from the Quarry Market all the way to 1604 and doing 80MPH most the time.
