As for police in houston, they can't even drive right themselves. How are they gonna patrol?

Houston Dallas austin San Antonio. This state will never solve their traffic problem. Cause they don't know how. They can't design roads worth a damn.. Go check out the any road in houston. Look at the curbs. See all the tire marks on it? These roads are confusing and too narrow.. You don't see the street sign til you re right at it. By then its too late so you get people who panic and make a sudden lane change.

The drivers here are bad. The road design here enhance bad drivers.

Just last week. This guy pulled into the wrong way right in front of me. On the feeder road at I-10 and beltway. That area is always busy. How do you turn into the wrong direction? Cause the road ways here suck, no signs or marker to indicate the direction. Lanes are force merged with no warning sign. roads are not straight.. i don't know why they cant build a straight road. i just don't get that. Ever notice the entrance into a shopping center or any entrance from a main road is so narrow? Everything is big in texas accept the roads and the entrance to your destination.
For people who are new here, the roads are confusing.

Use your turn signals and they speed up so you can't change lane. Left lanes are reserve for texter, yapping on the phone, eating fried chicken, paint finger nails, put on make up, read a book, I am not kidding. I ve seen all that.

I am all over the city. I drive a lot for work and personal. I see alot. I ve posted this before.
Everyone in houston is a student driver

I absolutely love this city, my only complaint is traffic and drivers here.
That goes towards, all race, male and female, short and tall, skinny and fat..

I have observe this since I moved here 14years ago, so I am not gonna blame new comer.
It's only gonna get worse.

Wheewwww. What a rant, back to my quiet life.
Have you ever lived anywhere east of Houston? No way have you lived in Georgia. Texas has the best roads of any place I've ever lived.

Some of the roads are poorly maintained, or in disrepair, or poorly engineered.

For example, the eastbound Westpark tollway entrance at West Houston Center is poorly designed. They have the land to create a lengthy lane merge section, but they did such a short merge section, it bottle necks everyday. Its sad that this newer road way was designed or the project was controlled without thought or logic. Its pathetic this is how a newer tollway was designed.

Man, an angry lesbian wanted to fight me the other day. I didn't pull into the right lane fast enough for her where 19th becomes 4 lanes. She followed me to Menchies and got out of the car trying to fight me. She is lucky I won't hit somebody first as I like violence. Crazy lady as I am a big dude who practices combat sports for fun.

There are two cities in this country that basically invented road rage: Los Angeles and Houston.

You should've gone through with it and then posted the video on WorldstarHipHop.
