    Drivers down here in NC are FAR FAR worse than in NYC

    Drivers down here really don't drive as if there are other people on earth. Weaving across all lanes? Check. Go 90 on the highway and 15 everywhere else? Check. Never yield AT ALL ever? Check. Stop at Green lights and debate whether to go left right straight or back up? Check. Stop on the end of highway entrance ramps? Check. Stop at the beginning of off ramps? Check. Use the left lane for driving slower than all other traffic? Check. Drive side by side? Check. Run, really run red lights (10 seconds red or more)? Check.
