Cruising at 80+mph with less than 2 car lengths in a pack,
I think it is the morons in their little rice racers is where the problem lies. They think they have a F1 with alot of ass behind them, in reality the are driving an econ-box that with a slight breeze it is all over the road.

I live in houston tx and I must agree that a lot of the people in the US can't drive worth a damn. The driving test here is a joke, if you fail it you really have some issues, try taking a test in europe and see how much harder it is then here.
They drive crazy in Houston, it will start to pour with rain and what do most people do, yep you guessed it, speed up. It also doesn't rain that often here so a lot of people are not used to it, the roads get all greasy and no one is leaving much of a gap between the cars.
There is also a serious issue with lane control, people driving so damn slow in what should be the fast lane, running red lights is also very common. When I first got here I put on the brakes to stop as the light was going to have been pretty well red when I went through it and my friends in the car all told me next time to run it because the odds on the person behind me will think I will and he/she will prob blow through it also and perhaps hit the back of my car.
Anyway just a quick rant, I'm not saying everyone in the US is a bad driver but there are a lot of people out there that just shuldn't have a license.
