I grew up near Houston and would totally take Houston drivers over Seattle drivers (Though I'm not living in the US as of this year).
Houston drivers drive. There's a sense of urgency to them. Not so in Seattle where it's normal for the left lane traffic to go 15 mph below the speed limit.
- saryant 12y agoI would say "urgency" is an understatement!
- angersock 12y agoWell, that's the thing, right? If you're on the 59/610 west interchange, it's dangerous--so you should drive faster to be exposed to danger less. It's obvious. Especially in the rain.. And the ice.
- saryant 12y agoI spent a summer commuting from Katy to University of Houston's main campus. Westpark toll to 59 passing through the 610 interchange. Westpark's off ramp lands you in an exit only lane to 610, so you immediately have to merge over three lanes within less than half a mile. IIRC it's the most dangerous stretch of highway in America.
- stephenhuey 12y agoThat stretch has a rival in Houston: if you're heading towards downtown on Allen Parkway and get onto I-45 northbound, the entrance ramp is a tight upward spiral and you'll need to accelerate from 30 to 70 lickety-split because it dumps you right into a full-fledged interstate lane, not a merge lane!
