Have you been to Dallas?! or Houston?!

The bigger the city.. the more congestion.. the worse the drivers...

Sadly, this is true. I've seen young Airmen, Sailors, and Marines drive their 300+ hp cars like idiots all the time.

There are bad drivers everywhere. Most problems I face are when people change lanes without looking. I was in the military for 6 and a half years and spent time at several bases. I know first hand the difference in driving attitudes from military bases and far from military bases. I think the biggest problem around military bases is the aggressive driving. Being on several combat tours, I understand the adrenaline rush and disregards to drivers who I feel are in my way. Took time and and counseling to calm myself down a bit.

I concur with the new enlist drive like **** sentiment.

Yep I spent 10 years in the military as well and was a cop. Trust me I know the young men are aggressive at driving but in comparison to everyone else's driving habits it's a wash.
As far as larger cities goes, Austin TX if the 4th worst city to drive in the US. Yes it's horrible here as I'm sure my fellow Austinites will confirm.

i beg to differ... toronto aint no big city compared to the US big cities but the traffic is probably the only true 'world class' tier item we have to offer.

( Click to show/hide )
okay okay there are other noteable things but to most of the torontonian's dissapointment we ain't a world class city...

Hope everyone involved is okay.

The I hope the 370z driver gets sued and buys the pickup driver a new pickup. Then I hope they take his license and make him ride a scooter or bicycle. He obviously isn't responsible enough for a car.

Dallas and Houston are pure hell, aggressive and drive way to fast. When I'm at home in Manhattan Beach, Ca I feel relieved from that.....Just way more traffic out here in S.Cal., you can clearly see this is car capital where every house has 4 cars or more....ughh:eekdance:

At least is wasn't on CNN. Usually, CNN gets a line on some Soldiers messing up (especially at Fort Hood, since that is the only reason Killeen exists) and they run it into the ground.

Side note: it makes sense why people were calling me so much asking if I was alright. I guess they forgot that I wasn't there anymore.
