Luckily she doesn't drive an 18 wheeler and I-12 doesn't exist in Texas. Crisis averted.

I was somewhat surprised by the pulling off onto the shoulder tactic myself


I was at my grandparents house in DeRidder right after I got my license and ny grandma almost had a heart attack when I got into the shoulder. Honestly thought that was how it worked everywhere

The shoulders aren't made for passing, jack arse.

We play the opposite game here, if there's someone driving slow as frick in Houston and not going with traffic there's about a 75% chance there's Louisiana plates on it



I was somewhat guilty of this. But frick, I was still going at least 10-15 over the speed limit.

Correct with exceptions. However in Texas drivers who are impeding faster traffic are allowed to drive on the shoulder so the faster vehicles can pass them. It's not a violation if the slower car won't drive on the shoulder, but it is encouraged.

I've discussed this with state troopers. There is a reason that the signs posted with "Slower Traffic Keep Right" and "Left Lane For Passing Only" don't have asterisks displaying exceptions as to when those rules don't apply. It's independent of the speed of prevailing traffic and the speed limit.

They aren't. Everyone thinks their city has crap drivers. Stupid thread.

Texas Hill Country people are the best drivers. Everyone waves and pulls to the side to get passed. San Antonio isn't bad. Houston is awful.
