The thing that scared me about San Diego were the lane-to-lane differentials in speed. You'll have an exit lane stopped and people ripping along at 80mph just a few feet away. The high speeds in Texas were in the long connectors between metro areas. It's so flat out there that honestly it never felt 'dangerous', it's just that a greater percentage of run-of-the-mill mishaps will result in death. You couldn't do that in SoCal, too much terrain.
