I’m in Alabama....and I’ve been saying for a few months now that there is an epidemic of stupidity on the roads here. Motorists are doing the dumbest crap and thats just what I personally witness. People in the left lane turning right towards an intersecting road. People just blowing thru red lights. People backing out of driveways onto neighborhood roads and not looking at all. I’m tellin ya...its dang strange.
I’ve noticed the roads have been massively dangerous for a least 10 years and gotten progressively worse.
Teens and idiots in the 20-30 age range have zero respect for traffic laws, the wellbeing of others and they will cut you off in heart beat.
Last week I saw a lady throw a handful of change at a couple kids who cut her off. That almost caused an accident.
I can only imagine the drive-by shootings will increase with road rage.
Stay safe because common courtesy is gone!
Im in Bama, too. you forgot the sudden u turns on busy streets, impatient young men of color pulling around a person making a right turn and turning in front of the car attempting to make the right turn. The rampant “I want it fresh” types speeding past you and cutting you off just so they can be in front.
“there is an epidemic of stupidity on the roads here”
That’s how they drive in the third world.
Dude, I've driven in Birmingham.
Crusing through red lights is a citywide sport.
“Societal victims” often think that because they’re “victims” the rules of civil society no longer apply to them ... that they are exempt from behaving civilly, some to the point of behaving inhumanely.
