I guess there are just things that some folks are happy/comfortable with and other folks aren't.

I ALWAYS come to a complete stop.
I'm almost always speeding (except in a school zone, that's a never).

turns into the nearest lane. They always swing wide.

Right, that's a law in FL. In Texas it is absolutely legal to turn into whatever lane you feel like. When I moved here, I checked and double checked that. The really crazy thing is that they often have dual turn lanes here, and I've been hit once and almost hit or run off the road several times in the past 26 years that I've been here. I usually try to ensure that I'm at least partially in front of someone when on the outside of a dual turn lane so they see me. The times that I haven't been in front of someone are the times that I've either been run out of my lane or hit.

And let's not even discuss passing lane campers.

That's another one. I've checked, and as far as I can tell, it's not illegal to pass on the left in Texas AS LONG AS THERE IS A LANE FOR YOU TO DO IT IN. If you pass on the left on the shoulder, THAT'S ILLEGAL. If you're on an interstate and there are 4 lanes going your direction, I haven't been able to find a law that says that I can't go around someone as long as I'm in one of the lanes.
