Sounds like here when the Canadian snowbirds arrive.
I am thankful I have never lived in a town with a population over 70k.
Places like Milwaukee you do not need license or insurance - when stopped you get ticket which falls out of an open window as soon as the cop is gone - there is no prosecution. Not worth the systems time as they have too many cases of multiple times offenders to release on their own without bail. Very heavy work load to make room for real offenders like conservatives and such.
That is why many insurance companies insert ‘uninsured motorist’ coverage in most policies — unless you specifically decline it.
You are subsidizing them, since many of them are ‘uninsured motorists’.
Come to eastern Washington where nearly every fatal car accident involves a Hispanic.
Just yesterday 2 of them died when they drove off the freeway.
NEVER run a GREEN light.
Never let them know what you intend to do by using direction signals, they will cut you off.
There is also the more common Stealing A Left.
Either maneuver can be performed from any lane.
You may have encountered a forgien Masshole.
Doubt it’s illegals although possible. People are just idiots when it comes to driving. They text, talk on phones, eat, look at shxt or maybe they’re playing with themselves.
Speed limits around my neck of the woods in the country, in the mountains and only 2 lanes are 45 or 55 for the most part. We get vacationers all the time. Their main speed limit is 10 - 15mph under the speed limit until there’s a passing zone then it’s 20mph over just so you can’t get by.
If there’s a curve they’ll slow even father, up hill in a 55 is 30 if you’re lucky.
I’m tempted to run them off the road for being idiots.
I’ll pass on a double yellow just to piss them off and then they’ll stay up with you doing the speed limit.
“Where basic laws are thought of as suggestions.”
But you are right. Things like stop signs, lane markers are really just suggestions.
You in north Alabama? 565 / access roads .... road construction + idiots = hour long traffic jams.
“If you operate a vehicle on public roads you NEED to have a dash cam or helmet cam.”
Yep, I am getting one. Too many folks want lawyers to make them rich.
Just another unintended consequence of Faucism.
Yup. Yesterday a middle-aged woman was observable fiddling with her phone and smoking a cigarette while getting on the freeway. Obviously she was too busy to be bothered with driving while she was behind the wheel.
Welcome to my world. I live in AZ and this has been happening here for decades. The only two accidents I have ever been in were caused by illegals who fled the scene.
We are used to the drunk driving, the failure to yield, the last minute lane changes etc etc.
I’d say you’ll get used to it but you won’t.
No one stops at stop signs.
Here in Texas...making full U-turns at the base of a viaduct or over the double-yellow lines is A-okay.
Wearing their gardening gloves and green poker visor, traveling the same speed as the two trucks in the right lanes.
My son got these for everyone in the family a couple years ago, they work well, and will monitor your car while it is parked, if it’s hardwired.

Turning right from the left lane = standard Atlanta move. Two more are gunning for the exit ramp from the second or third left lane, and turning left from the straight only middle lane and gunning past(or trying to; sometimes they sadly have to fall back) the passenger side of the driver in the left turn lane.
Always drive defensively! Head on a swivel and eyes constantly scanning for the Mr. Magoo contingent.
