Just for the record, I was not defending Austin, or any place,
for that matter.   There are good and bad drivers everywhere. 
I've lived and drived in a *lot* of other places, and, on the
whole, Austin is no better or worse than any of them.  Think
about it, what attribute of a section of the populace (i.e.,
"bad" drivers) would cause them to accumulate in any particular
locale?

What I mean by "tolerance" is a resistance of the impulse to
try to impose one's driving style (good or bad) on others by
tailgating, flashing lights at, flipping off, honking at,
screaming at, swearing at, et al the"offending" party (and if
they "get away", on whomever is available).  I don't give a
flying (expletive, deleted) *what* city you're in.

Yeah, right.

You know where the road outta town is.  Somebody got a gun to
your head, keeping you here?
