Man, you don't know the half of it. I used to live in CT but then moved to GA. If you think the drivers in Connecticut are bad, the people behind the wheel in Georgia shouldn't even count as drivers. I've had a guy do a triple lane change cutting off two people to make a turn half-way between the the light and the start of the turn lane.

Wow, I never though there could be worse drivers than those in CT. This has totally blown my mind. I must reconsider life now

In college I drove a crappy Ford Taurus from DC to Atlanta and then on to the pan handle of Florida. Loaded with four people and packed with luggage I was at the limit of that car. I think it topped out at like 85 miles per hour. People around Atlanta were flying by me like I was standing still. I was only going that fast to try to go the speed of traffic but that car could simply not keep up.

I don't know about that one, but I've also always heard that if you can't avoid them, floor it instead of braking. That way they're more likely to just run into the side of your car and get a sore nose, or if you hit them front on they're more likely to go over the top of your car instead of through the windshield

I lol at this because you have never been to Miami, have you?

Where 90% are immigrants from countries where street laws don't exist. Everyone drives new cars, have no idea how to drive them (or at least they think they're the best and deserve the right-of-way every single time), and none have insurance.

fun

If you Masshole drivers think we are bad, try your luck in DC. You have fair warning.

Mine has been running since early August during very hot weather. I have had no problems of any kind.

I finally made a light I never make and shot the gap. Then a mustang almost changed lanes into me.

I'm a bit confused. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me, and I don't see a mustang changing lanes?
