    Exhibit A: 59 south from Fannin to Buffalo Speedway.

    For some reason people just LOVE to go 20-30 miles under the speed limit here..every lane has a driver with a totally diff speed.

    That's all we do in Houston. Not like we have proper mass transit.

    Yup. I'll take Houston's drivers over Austin's drivers 7 out of 7 days of the week.

    Bellaire is turrible. Doesn't help with the fact that they're not finish fixing the road yet. How long has it been? 2-3 years?

    the problem with houston drivers are all the transplants, we have high speeds and big ass roads, that's kinda unique and they do not have the experience

    Bingo. Houston is a GREAT place to drive compared to other cities I've lived in. People know their place and if they don't they learn with a quickness to stay to the right or get run over. It's a business city, we don't have time for bull**** on the roads.

    this might be the root cause for the increasing number of terrible drivers.

    if you are used to city driving, expecting to go 60-70mph can be a shock.

    How about driving 20mph over the limit then getting passed up by a car that was behind you and that car changes lanes in front of you only to make an immediate right turn. They couldn't possibly make that turn behind you...no they had to get in front of you and slow you down so they can make that turn. That drives me insane.

    or this in reverse..

    pull out in front of you, you have to slow down to below speed limit and they just drive slowly in front of u..

    they could have just waited for you to pass and then pulled out. BUT NOOOOO.
