LMAO.....NOT!!!!
I've lived and/or driven often in DC, LA, Bay Area, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago as well as a few large cities in Europe. Outside of Athens, Greece and Naples, Italy, I've yet to witness the lethal combination of bad traffic and even worse drivers, but Houston comes close. There may be a larger concentration of hacks with licenses and wheels somewhere in the US, but I've yet to witness it...
Houston hands-down takes the cake for being home to some of the most downright idiotic, breathtakingly stupid, flat-out moronic, vomit-inducing, mind-numbingly foolish, exponentially ignorant drivers in the US, and that's on a good day of traffic.
Whether it's dips**t poser oiler-hillbillies (urban rednecks in my vernacular) in jacked-up diesel Ford or Dodge trucks doing 5-lane changes in heavy traffic, homies in their "sleds" doing 40 in the left lane, hispanics who have NO license in ANY lane with lawn/construction equipment falling off their trailers, old Vietnamese ladies who haven't figured out why auto manufacturers placed mirrors on the Honda's or Acura's they are driving, high-school punks thinking that this type of environment "hones" their street-racing skills, or WASPy soccer-moms in every flavor of SUV attempting to violate every traffic-law known to man in order to pay more attention to the kids in the back-seat or their makeup in the mirror...
...we've got it all.
I now know why my insurance doubled when I left from KC to Houston, even with a spotless driving record; it's not me the insurance company is worried about, it's the multitude of idiots that are out on the roads...
You'll laugh, but there's a reason I absolutely REFUSE to hold meetings with customers before 10AM and after 3PM.
I never thought I would wistfully pine for the days of traffic and drivers in Atlanta...
