Jeff,

FoxPro... Ok, now I've satisfied the new rules. *g*

Don't misunderstand, there are a LOT of good drivers as well, otherwise there'd ne a lot more accidents. I just find it an interesting sociological view of society.

>Most of the posts here are about rude drivers. Here in Austin we have a dangerous mix of drivers. One group has come here from Silicon Valley, Dallas, whereever in pursuit of a buck and drive their BMWs and Lexuses at about 60 trying to beat all of the lights. This in and of itself is ok but they share the roads here in Austin with the people from outlying towns that have learned to drive in a pasture and are just getting used to not having to drive in the furrows. They are driving about 15 miles an hour sight-seeing. Place these two groups on the same street and it's a gymkana just going to the store for some beer.

>>Here in Utah we often suffer from a couple of driving challenges.
>>
>>1. A tendency for drivers to drive down the road side by side and to NOT move over to let those who wish to pass. It's called "The Mormon Standoff" *g*. I think winter snow driving causes this as it's easier to drive side by side in winter snow storms.
>>
>>2. Deliberately impeding those wishing to merge on to the freeway by matching the merger's speed. Pure cussedness. *g*
>>
>>3. Not being at freeway speeds when merging onto the freeway, causing freeway drivers to either have to speed up or slow down, causing potential troubles.
>>
>>4. Not letting folks onto the road from driveways.
>>
>>What about you?
