Angry Bad...no, Very Bad Drivers


What's up everyone! Hey don't want to make anyone angry, but I was just wondering...

Where do the Left Lane Vigilante/10 mph Under Speed Limit people come from in your neck of the woods???

I live in North Alabama, and for the most part it is fast paced on the streets (Despite what you have seen on "Deliverance" or "Friday the 13th"). But every couple of miles there is a Tennessee plate on the back of a car that's going 10 mph under and blocking traffic in the left lane! Why? I've been to Nashville a hundred times! Nobody drives that slow there!
So I have a hypothesis... I think it's a drive south thing. So possibly Florida hates Alabama drivers, Tennessee hates Kentucky drivers and so forth. Is this contagious?

Ohio tags usually get the finger from Kentuckians.

Wink Re: Bad...no, Very Bad Drivers

Maybe the out-of-staters drive slower because they fear being targeted for speeding by the local cops. It happens. Being unfamiliar with the roads and where things are will slow you down, too.

I doubt it's a conspiracy meant to annoy you.

It's not a wonder they get targeted! I need a horn that yells, "Go back home moron!"
We (Alabama) even have signs on the highway that say "Slower drivers keep right." I've never seen a sign like that anywhere else. And we get all of the FLORIDA VACATION traffic. I think this is a conspiracy...
I can't count how many times I've seen local cops and Ambulances with sirens blazing riding someones bumper in the left lane through town. Even when I found out my dad was passing, I couldn't get people to move. It's really sad around here. Maybe CNN or FOX would like to do a story called "Out of Towners: A Story of One Man's Revenge!"
I can see it now...

"This may look like a nice guy, but when he gets in his 5.0 Mustang GT..."

Hehehehe

This is choice. A guy from Bama complaining about other states drivers.

I've seen it all, and anytime I'd get stuck 10 cars behind some moron 90% of the time ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY, the guy/gal had "stars fell on....." on their plate. The other 10%, Georgia.

Did you happen to read the part where it says, "light hearted"........?

Anyway, I got dragged into going to the NOPI Nationals in Atlanta (just outside) one time. We were going back that evening after a rest at the hotel. I go to do a u-turn in that part of the median with the pavement... what do ya call those things? (Joking LOL) Anyway a Georgia state trooper is watching traffic. He looks over at me and says, "What the hell are you doing? Ya think I'm sittin' here for my health!!!"

Before I can say anything, my wife without missing a beat hangs out the window and says, "What the ******? Why do you think there's pavement here in the median for dumb a$$!"

It was so funny- I guess he'd had enough of ricers and I couldn't blame him. He didn't have to take his fat aggression out on me though! He just threw his hands up and shewed us away- what a maroon!
