Lamborghini Murcielago loses it on the freeway

[Chili]

I love that driver from Shreveport to Dallas, it is three hours of this shit thanks to all the trucks.

I don't usually have issues on that drive. I mean, here and there yes, but as for the drive in whole, I can usually maintain a good speed and make good time. The worst, to me, is 35 between FW and SA. I don't usually have many issues on 45 to Houston, though they need to make more of that 70+.

You guys should head west.. That way you can enjoy all of the things you love on the highway with the added mix of oilfield CDL drivers that are sure as shit going to clip every overpass they can.

Almost all of 45 between Palmer and The Woodlands is now 70 or 75. I just drove it last weekend. It was nice cruising at 80-85 almost the whole way.

It's been a couple weeks since I've driven it, and I really don't know enough to specify the area other than to say the first hour or so leaving Dallas, but too much is still 65 imo. All other freeways around here seem to jump to 70 or 75 right outside of the metroplex.

Yeah, Palmer is about an hour south of Dallas on 75. The best reason I can think of that they haven't changed it is because that speed trap seems to be the city's main source of income.

Jesus Christ, everything I post is 100% literal you guys, thanks for clearing everything up!! lawlz

Most of the time when I'm doing the Dallas to Houston/Houston to Dallas shuffle I'm pulling a trailer. So I just park it in the right lane, set the cruise at 65 MPH, and jam-out. The few times I've gone down and back in a car with no trailer, I always seem to come across a pack of cars doing 80+, and I just tuck-in with them. Besides being boring, 45 hasn't really ever done me wrong. If you want a more scenic view, come-up through Highway 6 before making your way over to 45. Lot of neat old stuff and 2 lane roads.

We should just get some cheap hookers.............

Dallas to Houston isn't usually as bad for me... it's not great, don't get me wrong, but the turtles on the way up are mind numbing.

I understand trucks/trailers have a hard time. What kills me is when some fuck is doing 60 in the right lane and some poor trucker has to try to pass them.

If people would just have some amount consideration for others, it would go so much smoother. Oh well, it sucks being smarter than everybody else sometimes

Speed limit is (xx) and , you think you deserve to go (>xx)

So, the person(s) going (<xx) Are in the wrong ?? ..

Sorry, don't see it ..In Texas if the Speed limit was a 100, you guys would go 105

Few, if any ..really should drive +1 over limit in the metro ..

For most , the skill level does not match the ego and the bank account

Yes, they're in the wrong. If you want to go the speed limit, then move your happy ass over to the lane that's doing the speed limit. Since 98% of drivers wish to go above the speed limit, someone going the speed limit is far more dangerous than the speeders.

As for going faster than the speed limit, no matter what, not true in my case. I took a road trip out to west texas in my 96 gt convertible. It's pretty much 80mph once you're out of the metroplex. With a passenger and a fucking shit lot of scuba equipment in the trunk, the car was a little sketchy above the limit, so I slowed down, in the FUCKING SLOW LANE.

Speed limit drivers are more dangerous than speeders. I've fucking heard it all now

The state of TX says if I drive less than 10% over the limit, there is zero impact on the status of my license.

I can be cited for it (though I most likely won't), but I can be cited for it 10 times a day and it doesn't effect my license.

There are signs everywhere saying "left lane for passing only". It's, unfortunately, an unenforced law. More importantly, it's uncommon fucking courtesy. The reason people speed up when you try to pass them on the right is because they're embarrassed that you caught them being a brain dead inconsiderate fuck.

My road rage has cooled as I get older. I understand that some people drive slow. I understand that some people drive slow cars that can't accelerate quick enough to make certain gaps in traffic, etc. Again, I've cooled out on a lot.

But if you're in a 75mph zone and you're going BELOW THE LIMIT, get your fucking ass in the right lane!

(this is not directed at you FWIW)

I bet if you were able to get an unbiased study together, you'd find that people who drive the speed limit vs. those who drive over the limit are worse drivers overall... less driving skill/abilities, less attentive behind the wheel, etc.

Everybody I know who turtles along can't drive for shit. Most people I know who drive above the limit are move involved drivers w/ better skill. People who know how to correct a skid, have better understanding of grip limits in emergency braking/cornering/etc.
