So tragic omg!!!

Too many raggedy rigs on Houston highways. We need to crack down and make sure they’re safe for the roads. And while we’re at it we also need stricter laws against paper license plates

Tragic

This is why I always overtake 18 wheelers they’re doing in the fast lanes and always blocking traffic

Very sad. But an average day on Houston freeways
