Driving Hell

Seriously, some of the worst drivers I've ever seen in this area. I don't like to be judgemental, but every BMW and Mercedes that has almost run me off the road was driven by an Indian (dot) or an Asian.
I don't think they teach the same guidelines for driving efficiently and safely in Texas as they do the rest of the US, either. Driving slow in the left lane is something I see damn near every mile. In fact the expressways are almost like a pipe and exhibit laminar flow, with the outer lanes being the slowest, and the middle lanes being the fastest.
I'm considering getting a dash cam because sooner or later one of these bastards is going to run into me.

We've got some friends in San Antonio whose dad is 87 or 88 now, can barely see and has passed the eye exam each of the last two times he's had to take it. Don't know why he's had to take it twice recently, other than being damn near legally blind.
I want to move back to Texas so bad.

I'm telling you, I kinda dig it. All my neighbors are Indians and Asians though, getting out of the subdivision is like DeathRace2000.

When I was in Austin, people just went without even looking. When I came out of the airport into the parking lot, people would just backup and not even look to see if someone was coming. On the highway, they would just change lanes giving zero fucks if somebody was there. It was ridiculous.

I checked out Costco, and the parking lot driving was fucked

Asians can't even drive their carts inside of Costco. I've never seen another group routinely block an entire aisle and be oblivious to blocking everyone else or simply not give a fuck.

You ever been to India to see how they drive there? You're just happy to make it out alive. Bad driving is in their DNA now.
I was in Munich once on a business trip, with people from other office around the world. The guy from Italy drove his Fiat, and was driving myself and another German to a restaurant one night. He was all over the road, the painted lines meant nothing to him. That's when the German started yelling at him, "You are in Germany now, not Italy, you can not drive like this here. You must stay between the lines! The police will pull you over and give you an alcohol test." - it sounded like an old argument.

Just fire a couple rounds in the air and tell them to stay the fuck off your lawn.

Asians scurry when I approach because I have big tarpz and I tend to scowl at strangers.
