...I always predict the worse of situations, keeps me aware of all possibilities and knowing how I can avoid a situation if necessary.

I've learned that in Dallas, all Mercedes vehicles come from the factory without indicator bulbs.
Us mortals have to do the best we can to read the minds of benz drivers so we can guess when they need to get in our lane, right in front of our bumpers.

1. No signals 2. The passing lane is the slow lane and right lane is the passing lane. 3. Everyone is talking and Texting while driving 4. more stop sign and red light runners I have ever seen in my life, so those cameras are making serious money here. 5. They think 4x4 means you can speed on ice. 6. They get road rage when they are making driving errors and start car bullying people which often leads to the road rager being shot dead right on the highway. 7. More fatal accidents in Tx than in any other state. Hmmm wonder why? the list can go on |

If you set your mirrors properly in the Z, you can drastically reduce your blind spots. Checking your mirrors, NONE of your car should be visible on either side.

I'm from NY brah, only been out in Tx 6 years now. NYC is only aggressive during traffic hours and the dumb azzes in queens don't use signals. Especially the Cross Bay and Kissena Blvd areas. But aside from Ny being aggressive, they mostly drive with skill. so it's not as hard to be a good defensive driver in NY. Unless you drive in chinatown or the hesedic district. lol Thats some scary shyt.

This. Plus get those little $2 convex mirrors from Autozone. I angle my side mirrors almost fully out, and set the fisheye mirrors to watch down my flanks. No blind spots.
