haha!! It's open season here for in-state plates as well!  We have 
the rudest drivers anywhere in the country.  I've seen 70 year old 
grandmas fly around me doing 90 in a 70 because I was only doing 
75.  I had a woman and her child the other day fly up behind me while 
I was waiting to turn left into the school road, I had a car coming 
towards me so it's not like I could just turn and hit them.  The lady 
hit her brakes right at my bumper and started throwing her hands in 
the hair and I saw her lips say "WHAT???" and he had a questioned 
look on her face.  So I put my window down and yelled, I'm trying to 
turn LEFT <---- LEFT!! and pointed my arm to the left and waved it 
around a bit.  She was on a cell phone.  Driving for UPS is even 
worse.  The extreme red necks (I'm just a regular one, mind you), 
will try to drag race you from the red lights and put you in a 
serious cloud of black diesel soot.  East Texas.  When I first moved 
here my first words were, "you gotta be kidding me!"

If you come through this area on I-20, just turn your rearview mirror 
to one side so you can't see through it.  Pan your side mirrors out 
just enough so you can't see the pickup trucks behind you that will 
certainly give you hell during your entire I-20 experience.  You can 
make it if you ignore the road hate.
