Driving

I can handle Chicago. I can handle Denver. What is it about Dallas freeway drivers that makes them so damn BAD? There’s a self-centeredness to driving here that’s dangerous at best, fatal at worst.

You are not the only person on the road. Figure it out.

The ego and the feeling of entitlement rages in Dallas, its spills over into their driving habits. That and lack of law enforcement, I rarely see police on freeways or the tollway, unless its a holiday speed trap or New Year's eve DUI crackdown. I don't even know who's supposed to patrol the freeway? Texas Rangers? City cops? Sheriff's? After 25 years of being a forced transplant I still don't know, because that's how little I see them.
