    How are all these bridges getting hit in a state that as far as I know builds them fairly high??

    Neither one of those were dump truck drivers, they were both hauling heavy equipment.

    14'6" is our statutory bridge height IIRC.

    I just came down the I-35 today and took the 130 toll road to avoid that mess.

    Texans can drive. But there arn’t many native Texans left anymore. All the other foriegn countries like california, michigan, new york have been sending their degenerates here causing the bad driving. As for dump truck drivers. The ones reeking havoc don’t care because that’s the way they did it in old Mex.

    Texans drive like spoiled children. Been living here 5 years and I've driven in every major city in America. DFW is as bad as NYC, ATL, LA. If a Texan can't have his way immediately, he flips out and put everyone in jeopardy just because he wants to get 1 vehicle ahead. It's really unbelievable here.

    Yeah Dfw. Probably only 25% of the folks there have been there 25 years or longer. Majority are like you only 10 or 5 or less. We natives drive differently. Things like moving over on a shoulder on a two lane to let someone pass. Always Run the right lanes. Those are the two biggest. Very very few people do that anymore. When you do see it you know who the real Texan is.
