I hate driving in Texas. No, thats not it. I hate Austin drivers. For the second time in the past few months, I’ve nearly had my passenger side plowed into or been rear ended by some jerk who appears to think that my making a perfectly safe lane change would cut into his or her personal space and decides to drive like a moron with his head stuck up his ass. I call this move “The Texas Roadblock” and I bet they teach it in drivers ed down here. it probably goes something like this:
1. you see a driver (in car that is smaller than yours) ahead of you signalling that they are about to move into your lane
2. get all sensitive and bitchy that the person driving a car that is smaller than yours would have the audacity to cut in front of you
3. force them to swerve out of your way by leaning on the horn and accellerating as they start to pull into your lane
Driving in Boston is full of suck as well (replace no. 3 with “lean on horn and give other driver the finger”) but NEVER has anyone actually accellerated towards me dangerously because they didn’t want me to cut them off. The way I figure it, if you’re driving in Boston, you’re already risking your neck and there’s no sense further endangering yourself or anyone else on the road.
