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.
You in north Alabama? 565 / access roads .... road construction + idiots = hour long traffic jams.
Just another unintended consequence of Faucism.
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.
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.
I get the same feeling here in NJ when I see a PA license plate. Nice people, bad, bad drivers.
Hi.
I can’t imagine being an Uber or Lyft driver in Florida.
For example, people come to Florida who their whole life drove on the wrong side of the road. Other people come to Florida who believe if you can drive on it, it must be a travel lane. Some others believe you can make a right hand turn out off the far left hand lane (which usually turns out bad).
Then you have Florida man. Who drives the wrong way on the Howard Frankenstein bridge @100 mph.
I could go on about catfish crossing I-75 in masse...

I’ve found that driver attention and basic driving skills has plummeted since the lockdown started. Like they’re all oxygen starved or something. Of course the fact that they’re typically wearing face diapers should be my first clue, Lol.
So I tend to leave my nicer vehicles at home and rely on the beater pickup truck. One more dent won’t make any difference...
Wait until you run into (literally) Hindus, Brits, etc drivers used to driving on the wrong side of the road!
Driving in Puerto Rico a few years ago, we were in bumper to bumper traffic on a street with one lane each way with cars parked along the curb on both sides.
We paused to let someone pull out of a parking space, thinking they would pull into the line of traffic ahead of us.
Wrong! They pulled out from the curb and made a U turn, cutting off traffic both ways. We sat there for 10 minutes waiting for people to let the idiot through.
99% of this is because of people texting or looking at their phones...especially not going when the light turns green.
The worst drivers I see are in expensive cars. Lexus attracts the worst. Probably not illegals.
The white boy in the new mustang can pay his fine, but the poor wetback will just disappear if he/she gets ticketed. There is NO MONEY in pulling them over and writing a ticket. Nice huh?
It is the doing of all democrat voters. They hate themselves so they demand a government to make all of our lives miserable.
This makes me sick.
I’ve got it worse you whiner. We’ve got CALIFORNIANS AND NEW YORKERS!
