Anyone else in Texas? High speed limits plus road rage. I see it often.

Not to mention the heat and gun laws

Houston traffic got people out here thinking the whole road is theirs, but get mad when you're not driving crazy like they are, especially at night.

Cars just make people mad in general, they’re basically driving what would be considered a literally demon to people in the past. There’s two types of drivers

Those who are responsible and have to be stressed out dealing with bad drivers


And those who are bad drivers that break rules and get pissed off when they cause accidents or near accidents because of their entitlement on the road


I’m both instances, each party probably has to deal with being FORCED by infrastructure to drive to reach the majority of destinations, events, and activities in their civilian lives, which means hours upon days, upon weeks, upon years, of dealing with each other constantly

PICTURED: Suspect, 20, who 'plowed down ten people including two kids aged 5 and 7 near Grand Central Station' - as his female passenger who fled the scene is on the run​

• Ten people, 'including two minors aged 5 and 7,' have been injured as a vehicle plowed into pedestrians by Grand Central Station in Manhattan, New York
• Police say that all the victims' injuries are minor and that one man is in custody. A female, claimed to be a passenger in the vehicle, has fled on foot
• The NYPD has requested additional units for traffic and crowd control

And how long were you "isolated" sir?

This problem is caused by brain damage from Covid infection.

Exactly. It's amazing how folks conveniently forget that COVID affects people's brains. People are having mental breaks not from the isolation and protection from the virus, but from the virus itself. It's been documented how it affects the brain.

just thought about this a few days ago

I never road rage ... the older I get, I do get pissed more though

I've seen more people run red lights this summer than my entire life
and ive seen more angry drivers swerving and acting dumb than ever before... like outwardly angry and hostile about normal driving shyt

That’s what happened to me. Breh flipped me off and I was like damn what I even do I felt obligated to flip him off back but I didn’t even know why. Afterwards I realized he was mad I was going the speed limit. We not on the highway. I’m not speeding on residential roads for you.

they be right on your ass tryna speed up and not realizing what may happen if you gotta brake due to traffic. doing some daytona 500 type shyt and then they end up next to you at the red light, thats if they hadn't run it already, smh. gonna risk damaging their car, having to pay more in insurance, get delayed even more from their destination, all for doing some dumb shyt. meanwhile the person they hit gonna lawyer up, hit up some physical therapy for a few weeks and get thousands of dollars in retribution with no issues. my car is 10 years old with over 120k miles on it so i'm ready to be like khia with that my neck, my back for a down payment on a new one if someone decides to act stupid on the road.

I was walking across a cross walk when the light said walk and some truck was trying to turn kept honking at me, like I'm suppose to jog or hurry up. I kept walking with my headphones on, guy circled all the way around the block just to pull a gun out on me. Didn't say nothing either, just drove by slow with the gun out, people mad af for no reason now a days. I was shook and now I jog at the crosswalk

Dallas is one of the biggest cities in the country breh. We from the dirt. Those types of shootings on I-64 were unheard of when I was growing up. And we carry in VA too but y'all Texas brehs are strapped on a different level
