I hope everyone of you that are heading for HC will arrive safe and sound. I am a daily traveler of the roads and highways in Houston...around 2-300 miles a day. I am 55 and have not had any wrecks in 39 years! (yes, I know; the next one will kill me) Rule #1. allow a safety escape/envelope around you at all times. (if other cars go crazy, you know you will not be one of the victims) Rule #2. pass only on the left.....the sucker in the middle that goes to the right...is often the victim of those trying to go left!! Rule#3. Allow yourself and other drivers the 1-2-3 count at all lights. It sure as heck saves your BUTT if someone runs the RED light. rule#3. Always signal your intention to turn or change lanes....even the crazy drivers will let you change lanes within inches of their front bumper! (Tail-gating has once become normal way of driving with the younger drivers)..they just drive that way....no ill intention! Rule #4...probably not the last but most important: drive with the intention of getting there alive and don't get distracted by radios, controls, a/c,etc. If you can't do all the above by feel, let your passenger do it for you. Keep your eyes and Mind on Driving. Period! ---Have a safe trip....and if you doubt my wisdom, come down to Houston town and spend a day with me in a car. You will be amazed and you will most likely be safe riding as a passenger!
