Simon_Jester: Never signal for a lane change in Austin. They will burn rubber to cut you off. I had a Californian say that what you have heard about his state’s traffic is correct – but Austin’s worse. And my knees don’t work right because a corporate lawyer thought 50+ mph was the proper speed to run a red light in downtown Dallas. Wasn’t even ticketed because the police “didn’t see it happen” even though they were the ones establishing the speed. They didn’t like my question of what the real murder rate is in Dallas since few police actually witness the crime.
I’m guessing that Tom Toles rides the metro to work every day — or at least frequently.-My theory — never disproven btw, is that public transportation will ‘get its act together’ just as soon as public officials use it.
Thank you! I was wondering which version to go for once I save enough to get a new machine (this one is XP). Vista I could live with, as my Mom has that on her laptop, but wasn’t sure about Win7 or 8..As for public transit – my city could use an upgrade so they run on time…. but I have driven through Atlanta, which is very nasty during rush hour! If you’re not in the correct lane when your exit comes up, you might as well try for the next exit!

But Obama wants everyone using mass transit. So it is racist and elitist to do otherwise.

The WORST rush-hour traffic I ever had to deal with was in Houston, Texas And you’re talking to guy who’s driven in LA

Even on the comic pages the right is ignorant and uninformed.
