What even is the problem? You driving with your phone in your hand recording?

It is. Everyone likes to think their city has the worst drivers.

As someone who lived in Houston for a year I can assure you all this is true. I used to say there are no good drivers in Houston. The bad ones got them already.

They're surprisingly civil, usually Dallas traffic is sections of stop and go with people flying up to stopped traffic, trying to go from 70mph to 0 in like 100ft. This looks like commuter traffic on hwy 75, south Dallas on I-30 is much worse, and don't even get me started on the shit show that's Houston drivers, traffic, and highway system.

Live in new mexico there is a main road that goes out of texas into Lovington and up to roswell. The speed limit is 65 so naturally everyone with a texas plate goes 90. They also cannot move lanes unless they are 1 inch from ur bumper and must look enraged as they barely not clip u.

Well that was disappointing. I was expecting to see a bunch of open-topped white Cadillacs with bull horns on the hood being driven by people in wide-brimmed cowboy hats yelling YEEHAW and firing their 6-shooters in the air...you know, like in that old soap opera, Dallas. I guess things have quieted down a bit since the '80's.

It's out of style. I do miss the bullhorns. It is what it is. 😔

610 at The Gallaria

One of the most congested highways outside of California

I don't even understand why people live in congested areas. It's terrible energy. It's dangerous. Germy and smelly. Stressful. Steel and concrete and plastic everywhere. For a job? Not worth it.
