The 5 Cities With the Worst Drivers in Texas
Yes, there are bad drivers everyone, but some places have more than others. These are the 5 Texas cities with the worst. As much as it pains me to say it, there are a lot of bad drivers here in the Lone Star State. Whether they’re whipping through traffic, going 20 miles per hour under the speed limit in the left lane, or simply not affording other drivers the courtesy of using their turn signal, someone will frustrate me during my commute.

It’s a topic that has sparked dozens of threads and countless posts in the Texas subreddit, where users have often voted and voiced their own opinions. One particularly interesting discussion, titled “Worst traffic in the state,” ruled by 1.4K votes that Houston has Texas’ worst traffic — but still, some others in the replies disagreed.
