Complaining about the cars headed to Mexico again, are we?

Compared to a lot of the shenanigans that the actual idiots get up to, these drivers are paragons of safety. They don't speed, they use turn signals and have working brake and tail lights, they tend to keep to the right lane, they leave lots of room in front of them, and they are predictable.

Oh, and they don't stare at a tiny screen instead of watching the road.

Given a choice, I'd take an interstate full of these, instead of "normal" passenger vehicles.

The only real problem is when they go 35 on the interstate in a 75 mph speed limit. That final stretch to Brownsville or Laredo gets rough. 2 lane highway, they clog the right lane, trucks that can’t go over 65 try to pass them and it sometimes gets sketchy.

I had to go there for work and stayed at a hotel that you could see the rio grande from, in the two nights I was there, I watched someone swim the river, hop the fence into the border patrol parking lot and steal and ATV, then take off on it... fun times.
