BE ON THE LOOKOUT (THE CHEVY DRIVERS)

[Mr. B]

I too was going to chime in with after so many "incidents", might you wonder what you could be doing? I had a motto in the military: If a troop had a problem with a supervisor move em, if they have problems with multiple supervisors, can them. i.e. stuff happens, but if its happening repeatedly to the same person, when do you start looking at the person and how they got into those situations as opposed tot he situations?

It might not be you, but its a serious possibility/suggestion.

Same for kids at school. Sure, you could have a personality clash with a particular teacher, but if it happens repeatedly, you gotta start looking at the kiddo.

Krabbit, I think that you explained your opinion a lot better than nvabill (and you weren’t trying to backhand insult me). To your point, there is a little merit to it, if I were profanely driving in a manner that would seem like I was driving like a Road Hog or continuously switching like I had Road Rage. But, how does just trying to change lanes with the signal light on, cause drivers to behave idiotic and not be polite? It’s as if, some of you have never been cutoff by another driver.

I will tell you another experience that I see here in TX a lot, is when I am driving with the flow of traffic speed, and I need to change lanes not even near an exit, and I put on my turn signal. Then, the car in that lane sees my turn signal, but, instead of allowing me to enter that lane, they purposefully speed up. That’s okay, because some people don’t want to drive behind other people’s car. I don’t get mad or even trying to speed up, but, I let them pass.

If you can understand that I’m only talking about common courtesy on both sides. Now, take that example, and tell me why these particular Chevy drivers could not be polite.

Mr. B it’s just an unfortunate sign of the times. General lack of courtesy, extreme greed, and narcissism in business and political leadership that sets the tone and trickles down, nation wash in violence and guns. Add that to powerful heavy vehicles. Go to Costco on a busy weekend and you will see the same behavior on display behind giant shopping carts.

Thank you for seeing my truth, and knowing the real reality.

Polite and considerate drivers are still out there. As are the many who play and end up killing themselves. Fatality next to my house about a month ago. 65 in a 25 showing off in front of a group of kids.Twenty something plowed into the back of a rusty Ford pickup on his crotch rocket. The kids said he was trying to jump his bike at the top of a hill. I doubt he felt a thing. I walked up to the small crowd of kids who witnessed the stupidity and said to them, you learned what not to do right..

In Houston I notice as I move around the beltway from South to North it gets progressively worse. Pearland, no issue at all. Sugar Land, no issue except for people meandering sometimes. Jersey Village the speed of the highway goes from +5 to +15. Spring, they will not let you in and speed to +20. Greenspoint....get in the lane you need because nobody will let you move after that.

Yep. Houston, Dallas, Austin, in fact, all over TX, it is like this, and the traffic police are sparse (unless there is an injury/death).

Couldn't pay me to live in TX again - as proven by the turned down offers in my career. 8 years is the maximum sentence I could endure in the Houston metro. Drivers and traffic are nuts. Bow tie or not

Road raging against an unknown driver in Texas is a good way to get yourself shot, Chevy, Ford, EV, or otherwise. Most of my annoying encounters with other drivers in Frisco area are with Tesla drivers, but I think that is mostly because the Tesla drivers in my area of Texas are just bad drivers and/or inexperienced.

Most definitely.
