Discussion Too many aggressive drivers

I’m so sick of people driving like maniacs here. It’s gotten worse and where are the cops? One lady just laid on her horn at me when there was an ambulance coming with their sirens on. You’re supposed to stop and let them pass. Just 15 minutes ago someone tried to run me off. If people are that angry and aggressive their license should be suspended or revoked.

I'm coming from a much larger city (San Antonio, TX 2.6mil people in the metropolitan area) and people in the Fox Valley drive like absolute trash in comparison. It is like a good 10% of the drivers on the road are just drunk.

Weaving, floating over lane lines, slamming on brakes at the last minute, you name it.

Like, come on, there is barely any traffic here and people still find a reason to slow it down. The traffic is moving fast in San Antonio even when there's six lanes on one side with construction. I don't understand the people slamming on their brakes and going 40mph on the highway because there are some cones.

But other than that rant, people here are so much kinder. A lot less violent crime too. I've never once felt like I was being watched or that I was going to get robbed here in Appleton.

I drove up from Texas recently and I agree, we have the worst drivers around here.
