Yes, there are idiots on the road in Houston (primarily not on the toll roads). Despite the fact that I have to fight traffic into downtown Houston everyday, I love living in The Woodlands. It's a great place to raise kids.
I'm a native Houstonian. The humidity never bothered me. I know plenty of people that aren't from Houston that struggle with the Houston weather though. I used to live in Seattle. I'd take Houston weather over Seattle weather. Houston has nothing on Seattle's scenery of course.
Downtown everyday! That would blow. I drive out of town everyday and that fucking blows even.
This is the only goddamn place I've driven where one other single car on the road can mean a potential collision if you don't watch the motherfucker, or get by and far away them as soon as possible.
The way these fucksticks will race to the death to get in front of you so they can then SLOW DOWN right in front of you is just insane. No place else I've been in the world does that like here.
You can't go slow enough, or fast enough, whichever way you try the other drivers will make the time on the road miserable. There's no courtesy or awareness whatsoever. Everyone's either a dickhead or oblivious. At least the dickheads are consciously aware of the other vehicles, sometimes.
And that's if the fucking road isn't suddenly closed for construction, or completely stopped, merely because some asshole is broke down on the shoulder.
That's something else, I've never seen a place where 4 lanes of highway will collectively stop because of something happening on the shoulder, or worse the feeder road! I drove some foreign guests around the city once and they marveled when they saw a flipped over car on the highway. On the Straight highway. I told them, if they lived here, they'd understand how these idiots can do it.
I hear the Woodlands is getting very congested.
This area is good heat training for triathlon.
