I learned how to drive in northern Jersey and Brooklyn. I'm aggressive by all means, not going to deny that. Then I moved to Arkansas for 4 years and everyone was all nice and slow and calm...back to NC....haha wow, I swear they might be even worse down here!! EVERYONE always rides ass! Even on the highways...going 80mph in the left lane there will be a line of cars all grouped together all tailgating. Better get used to getting cut off, and a blinker? Wtf is that??? Most here have never heard of the things. Road rage is ridonkulous. I am speaking of my experiences living in Fayetteville and Southern Pines over the past year.

What do you think?

Oh and don't even get me started on left lane hogs...

I think you should have titled the thread "Fayetteville Drivers" rather than lumping in the entire state.

Everywhere on Earth has bad drivers...there are always people complaining that City X has the worst drivers.

I've driven all over the state. It's everywhere...even when I was in between Fay and Raleigh people were flying. The whole way to Charlotte was the same. The way down to Myrtle beach, same. I think it's just the entire east coast. Like I said, drivers in Arkansas, Missouri, TN, etc are quite pleasant!

Drivers in NC are quite pleasant too...I'm sorry you've encountered some that aren't, but it's silly to pin it on the entire state. Maybe it's not other people....could it be you?

From then places you name d the drivers may all be from New Jersey, lol. Fayetteville, transplant heavy due to military. Raleigh is NE transplant heavy. Wilmington or Sandhills area, which you'd pass through going to Myrtle Beach, retiree NE transplant heavy. :-)

There are a lot of wannabe NASCAR drivers here, it seems. That said, it's certainly no worse than any other part of the country IMO.

Bingo. What do you expect when everyone and their mom (literally) from NY/NJ starts moving to NC? Or anywhere else for that matter...such as dare I say, Florida?
