These Are The Worst States To Drive In

I’ll vote for Atlanta. (I know, it’s not all of Georgia, but that’s only because it takes time to annex everything…) The speed limit on the interstates in Metro Atlanta are all set at 55*, but if you’re not going 80, they’re going to run you over. I used to say that you had to try to get pulled over on the interstate in Atlanta, but then I think I said that once too close to a native. Now they’ve all taken that comment as a challenge and are one upping each other in trying to drive as poorly as possible.

Besides the locals speeding and weaving in and out of lanes (and bouncing off the other cars), there are the tourists; who, OMG, drive like the “Keep one car length between you and the next car for every 10mph you’re driving” is the Gospel truth and everyone cutting in and out are going straight to hell. Then there are the truckers, who either camp in the left lane at 50mph (ignoring the signs for trucks to keep right) or they’re 0.02″ behind you trying to push you out of their way.

Or, if it’s between 6am and 8pm, traffic is randomly going 0 mph for a quarter mile, and 1 mph for the 10 miles before it, so everyone can rubberneck the accident going the opposite direction, which was probably caused by a local going 85, swerving in front of a tourist going 50, who slammed on their brakes and got hit by a dump truck going 80…

(* Or at least the limit used to be set at 55, I haven’t had time to verify due to the bad drivers.)

God, I haven’t heard the “one car length per 10 miles an hour” rule since driver’s ed. Distance between cars is entirely vibes based, and should remain so.
