TEXAS HAS A SPEED LIMIT OF 85⦠AND NOBODY SEEMS TO BE IN THE MOOD TO DISCUSS IT. š¤ ššØ
Youāre cruising down the highway at 85, feeling pretty good about yourself.
Then a pickup truck comes flying up behind you like youāre blocking the entrance to the Alamo. š»šØ
Stay in the right lane? Somebodyās towing a trailer.
Move to the middle? Here comes another truck.
Try the left lane? Congratulations, youāve entered the Texas Autobahn. š
And Texas traffic has its own rules.
One minute youāre flying down an open stretch with nothing but ranch land around you. The next minute, traffic suddenly goes from 85 to 25 because somebody saw a construction barrel three miles ahead. š§
Construction season? What construction season? Itās Texas. There is no season.
There are orange barrels everywhere, lanes disappear without warning, and your GPS confidently tells you to take an exit that you can see is already 100% closed.
Then the Texas heat shows up. āļøš„
The pavement is cooking, the AC is working overtime, and your truckās dashboard starts looking like a second sun.
By the time you reach your destination, youāve burned half a tank of gas, passed enough lifted trucks to lose count, and questioned why you ever thought that āquick driveā was going to be quick.
Welcome to Texas, where the highways are wide, the trucks are bigger, the distances are ridiculousā¦
And 85 isnāt a speed limitāitās apparently a starting point. šš¤
Everythingās bigger in Texas⦠including the road rage. š»šØš„
