    Guys,

    For the past month I have been conducting an independent study on the IQ of Drivers on 45N outbound of Downtown in the morning. I have concluded that their IQ level must be lower than those of other freeways. Someone must have a low IQ to do the following:

    *Drive 55 miles per hour or less in the fast lane.
    *Not move over to the next lane when they see a faster car approaching
    *Have no issued with people driving 3 feet behind them because of the pure anger they experiencing from following behind such an idiotic driver(I don't do this)
    *Drive parallel to a an 18 wheeler and feel no need to speed up or slow down to allow others to pass the 18 wheeler
    *When encountering clouds, to drive 10 miles slower than they already are because it may rain
    * To slow down to below 30 MPH to watch a accident scene on the other side of the median

    I found it amazing that just 3 miles away on 59N, drivers who travel below the speed limit stay out of this lane completely. They often even stay two lanes over.

    I need to do further studies on what causes this extreme drop in IQ among drivers on 45N. If you have any suggestion to aid my research please let me know.

    They're also around at night. I leave UH at 8:30PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, and there are always morons cruising in the left lane without passing. I'm not stupid enough to tail them, but if they don't move after I flash my high beams, I pass them on the right and flick them off

    If you drove I-10 west, you'd never be able to get above 30mph so most of your issues wouldn't exist.

    I have driven on 1-10 west a lot. Those problems deal with too many people on a freeway with not enough lanes. That makes sense. 45N has tons of lanes and not that many drivers. People are just dumb. They should be forced to drive on the shoulder

    You must be in the HOV lane because my speedometer never passes 3 mph.

    FYI 10 and the Beltway underpass is a complete nightmare of criss crossing roads, unmarked signs, and complete and utter confusion....

    More specifically, the 610/I-10/290 clusterf*^% - whoever decided to have 2 major freeways merge right a half mile north of an exit to another major freeway was insane. They should have just connected 290 to I-10.

    290 really blows my mind. It is relatively new highway and it is short. How the hell did they plan that so poorly.

    I agree with you completely!!! I drive that F#$@ing highway every day.

    What boggles my mind is how people have wrecks on a highway? How freaking hard is it to drive in a straight line? :mad: Look before you change lanes, and put down that freaking cell phone. A tire blowing out.....sure it happens, changing lanes with out looking, sorry..... I dont' have the least bit of sympathy for you.

    I think 290 has surpassed I-10 as the worst rush hour freeway in Houston. It's been a long time coming, but I think it's finally happened.

    Also, I drive I-45N outbound every morning. I just get in the far left lane and go as fast as possible without tailgating the guy in front of me. What's the point of tailgating in heavy traffic?

    No, the best part are these morons especially at the FM 1960 exit that play stop in the freeway to cut over into the exit lane and if you dont let em over they flip you the bird. Like you are the one at fault. What?

    People that is insanity!

    It's a shame bazookas are illegal. We really could contribute greatly to mankind's sanity. :D
