Very true, Tom. A lot of the drivers in this part of the state don't seem
long on common
sense, and 'the law' has little effect in making the roads safer.

A recent article in the Houston Chronicle mentions that due to lack of
funding in the school systems,
and because of the need for higher scholastic performance, drivers education
classes would be dropped in some of the schools. ('Bubba' won't drop any
football programs, I'll bet!)
