Wow Dave, I lived in Tx for many years and regularly drove that
corridor you speak of and I prefer it hands down, to what I go through
now. I live in SW Colorado and I miss driving in Tx. Here it's just
the opposite. Just plain slow drivers (usually driving big trucks,
trying to conserve gas.) Then we have an unusually high concentration
of civilians who like to police others by various tactics. Namely by
driving SLOW, even slower than the speed limit, or driving slow in the
fast lane.....and if you break a traffic law, they look at you
horrified that you could have done such a thing! I guess I should
mention that I learned to drive in Tx and that likely explains my
bias.
