    I’m a european who has driven a lot in Texas plus some more around the gulf states.

    Hoboy, where do I begin… Just to name a few off the top of my head:

    • Headlights are lame. Even at night.
    • TRUCKS
    • Awful roads. Even Houston, a very car centric city, has roads made from a blend of 80% concrete and 20% potholes
    • Speed limits seem to be more of a suggestion
    • Tailgating culture
    • Zipper merge, motherfuckers. Ever heard about it?
    • Average vehicle standard is pretty shoddy. I’ve seen so much that wouldn’t be allowed on the road in Europe.
    • Infrastructure and options for non-motorists is pretty much missing, leading to people walking around the feeders
    • Police seem more concerned with enforcing stop signs than anything else traffic related. On that note, build some fucking roundabouts!
