learn to drive, idiots
Just saw an SUV hit some barrel barriers and did a 360 on my way home. couldnt tell if it was trying to exit last minute or realized it took the wrong exit. If you miss an exit or vice versa, just go to the next one and turn around. why dont people understand this, i see this way to often. Dont wait til its too late and than have regrets. take the few extra minutes and go to the next exit instead of putting your lives and the lives of other at risk. I hate people

Haha, I used to see stuff like this all the time when I was using the freeway to commute to work. there's just something about the freeway that makes people instantly mentally challenged it seems like.

<soapbox>
I suspect that driving on the freeway is a perfect environment to demonstrate people's ability to exercise good judgement (or lack of) as I see people do stupid S**T all of the time. </soapbox> |

You live in Houston, TX. I was there a few months ago and have never seen such bad drivers in my life, EVER. So, I'd say it's normal. (I've seen a deluge of cars pour off a toll-road, over a grass median, and come into the feeder lane and almost take out the truck I was in)
So, yeah, Houston, TX shit like this is normal. lol... You guys do have a lot of really nice cars there though, saw Italia 458, Maserati's, ton of vettes, and the parking lot in my companies building was pretty ridiculous as well. |

![]() And in my city (Denver) when it starts to snow you can tell who and has not driven in the snow before. The worst is morning commute which is icy and slick during the winter, and someone always creates an accident, then it's like 2~3 hours to get to work or school.

A few years back I saw someone in a little Civic do that on I-10 and cut off an 18-wheeler that subsequently jackknifed and rolled through traffic. The Civic drove off like nothing happened.

Houston drivers do amaze me sometimes though.
Seen a few Bentley's, Rolls- Royce's, Ferrari's, and Lambo's around too. Corvettes are too common, or well they are to me. |

I live in Houston not LA but I do have a condo there. I can say from experience that the drivers are much worse here in Houston.
The awesome cars remarks are quite true though. My little M3 was so common I saw it as much as I saw Corvettes. It got strange when I stopped seeing regular cars and BMWs replaced Hondas. There is a Koenigsegg Agera R at Helios Plaza and two or three Bugatti Veyrons, but it looks like the new thing around here is the SV and California. Bar skank is no longer impressed with 6 figures unless it starts with a 3 or higher. |

We have fucking terrible drivers. I see SUV's flipped all the time. Just the other day there was a helicopter sitting on a northbound highway (290), I don't want to talk shit because the passengers all died. My insurance went UP $100 a month when I moved here from Atlanta. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH No changes in coverage, or vehicle, or my driving record. Insanity.
