Another Texas oddity is the night speed limit.
Does any Texan here actually follow that rule?
I didn’t know there existed such a thing until I moved here. Doesn’t bother me too much after a couple months, but goodness......they almost think you are incapable of driving at night, so they make the speed limit slower.
LOL.
You said — “Another Texas oddity is the night speed limit. Does any Texan here actually follow that rule?”
Well, I do... LOL... It’s easier to get nailed at night... I really don’t want to get a ticket. I may creep it up to about 4 over, but that’s about it. I’m always glad to get to the Oklahoma border (at night) and bump it up to 70. Then, when I hit the turnpike, I can step it up to 75... :-)
On Highway 75, coming down south from Oklahoma, they’ve got several sections that will step the speed down from 70 to 65 to 60, and usually the troopers are there, right after the speed steps down... LOL..
But, once you get into Dallas, it seems you can step the speed back up again, even though the speed limit is still lower. They drive fast in Dallas... :-)
