Just this morning on the way to work, an inattentive driver allowed her car to drift from the right lane into my truck which was ahead of her in the left lane. Her driver side from bumper met my passenger side door. I heard the impact and felt it. We were only going about 20mph on a city street. No real damage to my truck. No dents. Just scrapes in the paint that will buff out. Her side mirror left a scrape almost the length of the bed of the truck. Her car will need a new front bumper and side mirror housing. American Made Steel (my truck): 1 Japanese Made Plastic (her car): 0 Speaking of inattentive drivers….

Though, honestly, I can't say it has been any different in any of the other cities in which I've lived. In general, the American public is too self-centered and inattentive.

UGHHHH. I don't understand what part of the Texan's brain can't understand that ANY time you make a right turn, you are supposed to turn into the right-most (nearest), lane -- not cross 3 lanes like you're an 18 wheeler who needs all that turning radius.
