As I may have mentioned, drivers in Houston are, well, just a little aggressive. This morning on the radio I heard an ad for a news special airing on TV tonight about Htown drivers and the number of police issued traffic violations. There were a few audioclips about police and the number of redlight-runners and then a clip of a woman asking, "Is the problem really aggressive drivers or is it the lights?"
Yeah, lady, that's it... it's the lights. I have the same problem. For some reason, when I hit an intersection, the light doesn't always stay green long enough for me to make it to the other side. Damn those traffic lights; they're a problem alright.
