- Road rage incidents and shootings across the city have been on the rise, so Houston drivers are on high alert when driving through the city. Increasingly, drivers are using firearms to express their anger on roads and highways, according to an analysis by The Trace.
As a someone that was born and raised here i think it has allot to do with the people relocating to Houston
Absolutely,no doubt about it.
@@Raygarza713 Great fairy tale.
Woman,men, senior citizens, black brown white : drive on these roads with urges and inconsideration. They take their daily frustrations on the roadways. Hell im no saint . Until theres your own blood on the ground, you will start screaming im the “victim”. I work driving all around houston , i mind my business keep my distance, not on my phone. And dont instigate road rage . Sometimes i might get cut violently but i be the adult and just let it go .Try this and you wont get road rage.
Good for you trying to be the Adult and stay Sane when things happen. That's a Good Man. But, too many people charge rest of us by playing on their phone, poking around, and acting stupid on the roadways. I see it all the time, because I drive a lot.
San Antonio is a hell hole for road rage@
This has absolutely nothing to do with senior citizens or women. The other categories, Yes!
@@aao449Shut up yes it does
@@Dougie2fly - You shut up and heed the warnings of being overly aggressive!
We need to look into WHY people are getting this mad. I can tell you, as a native Houstonian, the number of slow and distracted drivers has grown exponentially
You've noticed too huh? I've been telling people this is intentional. They've been handing out licenses like Halloween candy to unqualified drivers to increase road fatalities and I believe it's a conspiracy. The low attention span, socially inept, emotionally deficient people are in the majority on the roads equating a inevitable deadly disaster for sound minded drivers.
Its because houston has a large population of rap culture thugs.
They are behind the violence.
Too many people have their phone in their hands while their driving. I saw a woman either live streaming or doing a video call as she was driving.
Amen, @SeanK ... There are so many people that are reading their damned phones as you are driving, especially at traffic lights -- that they forget the external world.
Those are the drivers that I hate, because they are risking their lives and our lives too. And, I've seen it when people driving 80+/mph, still reading phone and weaving around.
On top of that, we have more idiots moving here, many with absolutely no driving experience.
Houston had tons of public safety problems.
Amen
Problem is when you call the police they tell you not to follow the aggressor.. which is fine but the problem they don’t do anything either
Too many stupid drivers on the road. They have no idea how to drive in traffic
Its bad and its getting more crowded even the tollways are a disaster and these 18 wheelers are all over the place driving like they own the road
These 18 wheelers deliver pretty much everything you need. Including the car you drive. They pretty much do own the HWY.
@godvibesonly7137 that's right that other guy should try staying at home. They should impose a daytime curfew . If you don't drive any type of bus or delivery vehicle you shall not use the interstates between 930 am -400pm
I got time! I let people in all the time. Pause😂😂 Go-head Bruh.
Harris county sucks!
That’s why I stay strapped
Facts! Thank god for constitutional carry in Texas and now Lousiana😎
So even more shooting, lol? Only Americans think more guns will solve the road rage shooting problem...lol!
@@fjlouis337 😂😂 How in the world does that protect you if you’re driving and they’re behind you? 😂😂
Someone's lacking coping skills....
It's the city. People are in constant anxiety here, always in a hurry, impatient, selfish, zombie thought processes, distracted by phones, value saving 30 seconds drive time over being safe. Houston is a sh*thole now thanks to a lot of the people that live here.
Commies came into Texas and are ruining it.
The problem is all of these idiots who have moved to Houston from other states where they were NOT taught how to properly drive !! That in conjunction with the city wanting to do major road work ALL OVER the city at once is another contributing factor. Real simple solution, STOP spreading road work all over and focus on spots, finish completely then move on to next spot, and EVERY person moving to Houston from another state needs to take a TEXAS driving course BEFORE getting issued a TEXAS driver's license !!!
I lived there. Residents there have anger issues, and they are just as at fault, verses out of state people.
There are as many bad drivers from here as from out of state. There's no magical Texas driving course that prevents bad driving.
@brendaniebel1355 I was born and raised here, this was NOT an issue in the 70's, 80's, 90's, or even early 2000's.
Yeah bc the speeed limit is out dateddd
It's getting warmer, lock and load,
Houston has a ton of problems. Lack of leadership, lack of accountability and corporate greed are a few
Houston new Mayor said he was going to make all the crime go down by hiring a million police.
Fueled by meth. and a failing economy.
Being passive aggressive gets the rage going be aware of ur surrounding and care for others
Where is the “police”?
I don’t understand road rage, I’m just sitting in my car in traffic watching Netflix on my way to work. Meanwhile people can’t decide to stay on the left lane to 45s or right lane 59 to eado
I just came from Mexico City, and they have way more people driving on the roads than in Houston. Not one person was aggressive towards another driver, no matter what was going on. It just blew my mind when I saw people cutting each other off and no gunshots fired. I said to myself, it would be a lot of ppl shot at back home the way they drive over here.
Well, I can't blame people for having anxiety about not wanting to drive or be in a car in a city. So many things can go wrong while driving, and there are so many accidents that happen each year. I would prefer some of the tax money go into building more canal towns and canal cities, where some people might prefer to travel by boat. Something like the Canal City Hakata and towns like Giethoorn Netherlands is what we need in America where not too much crime happens by car and its reduced. Well maybe someone watching this comment will probably give the idea to the Mayor of Houston and make half of Houston a canal city.
*Road rage leads the country in Houston because the sports teams can't!*
I thought of this today. I saw someone driving 28 in a 40 zone. The whole way down the road. I thought, "There is a potential road rage victim." Slow drivers all over Houston, including those who don't turn right at red lights. Is it true that in Mexico, it is illegal to make right turns at any red light? I think I heard this somewhere, but maybe not.
Who fudged Dallas's statistics ???? How did Dallas /Fort Worth keep their name off the list?
Yep
😂😂underrated comment
TOTALLY agree!! I’ve lived in Houston for 6 years(lived 10 years in Dallas). Saw more idiot drivers (aggressive, tailgating, speeding, etc.) in 1 day in Dallas than I see in a year in Houston.
@@jimapplegate3523 the fkn clowns here in dallas. Young Hispanic idiots
@@kaylean39 idk how Houston’s is this low? They saying a number over a decade that happens yearly.
Let’s see the road rage statistics by race of perp and race of victim. Guaranteed the LLANTAS lead the perp statistics…
I’d say this is the one crime that is probably pretty even.
LOL😂. Over 10 years? There are over 200 shots-fired in road rage Per Year in Houston. Over 100 dead per year.
in a hurry ?
Heist-town!
Try Oakland
Houston doing its best to be the next Detroit
No, y’all are definitely outdoing us on the road rage thing… as well as a few other crime stats( surprisingly)
We mind our business and keep it simple. We’re just trying to survive in Detroit. No time for the nonsense.
Too many Houston area drivers have bad habits. I see drivers every single day holding their phone in their hand and often looking at it instead of the road. Maybe you don’t care but maybe the driver next to you does care and has a gun. “No texting while driving” is not enough. Hands-free only (no headphones) should be the law. I quit driving for Lyft because distracted driving keeps getting worse and there is no enforcement. None.
You get what you vote for Texafornia.
So disgusting
I remember this. This is the dad that instigated the rage then cried victim
Yep
We got a road rage problem here in Kansas City also .... everybody in a rush and think they on a Texas highway here smh
I don’t wanna die like that
Thank you, Jehovah, God.🙏😇✊
Yes, I pray that same prayer every day when I get out of traffic, because I fear that one day -- that I'll meet my end on Texas Roads. Too many people wanna pew-pew at you.
Meanwhile chief Finner: To protect yourself install cameras in your vehicle
Keep up the fight. Hoping for change someday.
Had a gun pointed at me there in the 90's .. this problem has only gotten worse because there are more people living there. THIS WILL NEVER END no matter what the politicians try ..
This aint my countey anymore.
Stop ✋️ the victim blaming. Just stop.
Shut up 😂
😢
It's bc ppl from out of state usually don't know how to drive..
FLORIDA !!!
Houston been having a problem what's new we need solutions now we see the problems
I can still hear my old bible college teacher speaking about this...
Well Houston is a deep blue city..so you can’t expect better
lol. Every city has this issue.
Daniella Guzman 👀
I’m sorry this gentleman lost his son to a bunch of losers doing things in traffic. That was their own fault in the first place.😢
We have horrible drivers in California, I hate driving now. And no CHP on the roads At All
Thin the Herd in Houston !, Wake Up America !
Kinda of sus hua....
America is woke.
Because the war on drugs, we've clogged our legal system with drug cases...and let real violent criminals loose. Do you remember how safe America was, before the war on drugs?
You might look at the DA's office and the Soros judges who turn hardened criminals free to roam and murder. Drugs is just a part of the criminal element.
Houston drivers shouldn’t have to be on high alert, that has to be the city and it’s authorities.
They're never around when these people get murdered on the roads people have to take safety in their own hands and be vigilant.
No yall wanted defunded police. Yall wanted freedom to do crimes and what not.. so you got what you wanted. Seems the cops were not the threat you thought they were.

Any connections to demographics?
Like is certain demographics responsible for the surge?
You could go 75 mph and it still not fast enough…..it’s crazy
Yeah they chasing you down like a maniac not thinking you have children in the back of your car
@@andrewanderson5948half the drivers chasing you down have kids in the car.

Matthew 24:12

I bet next time you let someone in 🤦

Southern California is the only place in the US that has worse drivers than the Houston area. In the NY NJ area the people are aggressive but they are way better drivers. The move where people deliberately refuse to get in the proper lane to exit but instead cut off 3 lanes of traffic to make a last minute exit but it is okay because they are using the turn signal was invented by a Houstonian. But really, much of this has also to do with out roadway designs. For example, the feeder roads along highways are an incredibly stupid and dangerous design. Traffic is going 50-70 mph and you have private driveways people turn into and out of meaning they need to slow down or speed up rapidly to not disturb traffic on the feeder. Rarely does it work as intended and people have to slam on their brakes then get irritated at someone turning. Other states have no feeders at all. The highway exits to surface streets that are isolated from the highway and posted speed limits are 35-40 mph.
Yeah it’s all jacked up. The design of the roads, the capacity of the roads and the driving habits of people using the roads
Wrong, so does MI
Alot of these victims be suspects at first and the reason they get shot.Ive experienced it first hand dam near everytime I'm out.These folks cut you off you blow the horn and they give you the finger and start brake checking you;once you go around to pass them they swerve in your lane brake checking again and if you do pass them they follow you riding your bumper so by this time you're filled with anger and fear at the same time because that car is being used as a weapon and now the Smoke comes 🔫
Blame the implants
Houston Ian’s are just angry in general , you drive around and you see so many angry drivers is hilarious especially the older ones they get angry easily 😂
Bet he wishes he would have let that person over, now, huh? 😂
I don't doubt it. When I lived down there I thought Dallas drivers were bad. Houston drivers were worse...a LOT worse! They don't know the meaning of being courteous and NO ONE uses their turn signals! I was told not to use mine, because it gave other drivers a clue as to what you were going to do and they'd cut you off or block you out!
Not Houston drivers, drivers who have migrated into Houston.
Baloney...there's no "trend" going on. There is in Los Angeles though.
Wow, you can’t deal with reality even when it’s staring, you directly in the eyes.
I know Houston drivers suck, but I have a hard time believing that Los Angeles and Philly are better.
All illegal gun criminal behavior
Texas gun registration...
People must have permits ...and the penalty for owning or carrying your firearm with no permit needs to be mandatory 25 year sentence..
Half of these criminals won't carry if they know they'd be going to jail just for illegal possession.
Step it up ... .too many people are dying out here .
25 year sentence knock it off
@@Hummdulala I see how quickly that would trigger you... Having a firearm isn't a game .. if 25 years is too big a deal for you.. then don't have one illegally
@@Jayreisofficial you sound foolish, the law also protects the people from cruel unusual punishment. Don’t fix your mouth to speak on the law and neglect other laws. A life sentence for illegal carry. Irrational radical.

Like Joel osteen said
LET IT GO.
Stop trying to be right
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.....
Do y'all really wonder why 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Y'all allow everyone to carry . Then y'all invited people from all over the country to move here ...
Stop permitless Carry and make it a requirement..
Yes, make there be some test for it and make people buy insurance if they conceal-carry.
@@PoeLemic yeah I agree with that .
