Are you crazy? Driving in Dallas is like driving in the centre of London but on 5 lanes each way - sped up to speeds of 60 mph. Its a bit like driving on the M25 but with more lanes and vehicles overtaking you on both sides.
In a multi lane road in the US, the right hand lane is for turning off on the right and the left is for turning left and sometimes an HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) Lane. That means you stay in the middle 3 lanes depending on which direction and exit you're taking next.
So you're in a middle lane and someone suddenly remembers they're taking the next exit. This often means that they cut you and 3 other lanes up leaving just feet of clearance at 60mph, and this is a common occurrence.
Some of the cars play the road like a classic computer game -like all the other cars are only there to be dodged around so they can get to the winning post first.
I guess you could find a safe way to drive in this environment, but the simplest definitely seems to miss it out altogether and drive around it.
