My dad and brother live down there and its always a driving challenge when I go visit. I don't know what to make of San Antonio drivers, that mess is just WEIRD. Traffic jams out of nowhere and when you get up to where it starts flowing, there isn't even an accident being rubbernecked.

I've often thought that maybe a helicopter would help make sense of the weird traffic jams, cause they are just plain weird. and the road construction I've actually started driving up to New Braunfels and San Marcos if at all possible rather than going into SA, it's just plain miserable in some areas. And yes, the drivers are odd, but you have to understand, We have Selma and Schertz, where I live, where you will get a ticket for doing anything wrong, remember back in the 80's and 90's when the big thing on those news shows was speed traps and such? yeh, Selma was featured a few times. Once you get past these two spots, well, you're in SA but there are still so many little towns within the city that still want $. Plus, we have alot of military folks who simply follow the law, good guys that they are.

Especially San Antonio...People come to a complete stop on the feeders to let people merge off of the freeway.

Here it's a race. The car on the ramp and the car in the lane will race. It's a sign of weakness to yield. Same goes for using your turn-signal to change lanes. If you do that, it's a sign of weakness and the adjacent cars will intentionally try to block you from changing lanes.

if you don't yield in my part of town you WILL get a ticket, no if's, and's or but's....

If I'm going 80 on a 65 speed limit highway, and everybody else is also going 80, nobody should be trying to pass me on the right simply because he/she wants to go 100 mph. Weavers, speeders, and tailgaters do this here on a daily basis. They are out of control.

It doesn't matter. You are impeding the flow of traffic. It is not your place to decide how fast anyone else gets to drive.

You do that stunt in Germany - where people actually do know how to drive as opposed to merely moving a car from one place to another - and you are the one getting the ticket no matter what the speed limit is and how fast they are driving.

and your point? this isn't Germany is it?
I think driving in the right lane on a highway should be illegal, as it's dangerous for people getting onto the highway. It's not, I deal with it, people drive stupid, everyone drives stupid at some point....you probably drive stupid, the Germans probably drive stupid at some point....geeze...deal with it and move on. Houston, Dallas, even San Anotonio
