And as a native, I'll say this. The traffic wasn't so bad before the influx of "foreign" residents from the north and California. HAH! The traffic's bad because the natives believe that
- traveling in the passing lane until they're 20 yards away from their exit and cutting over 3 lanes to exit is "safe"
- blinkers are either A.) to let you know they're halfway through with the merge/turn or B.) legal right-of-way to commence with said merge/turn
- if they pull out in front of you, you better slow down because he who initiates contact is at fault (unfortunately, this is the law - see, even the legal system encourages poor driving)
- 4WD = INVINCIBLE on ice. Sure, it's only 2 weeks in Feb. but go ahead, count the rednecks in the ditch along I-35 one day. The number is astronomical for what little ice we actually see every year.
