    I'm not sure about this. I'm from Mississippi and folks there aren't anyway agressive when they drive. No one honks if a car sits at green for a bit, even in Jackson. Folks are mostly very polite on the road. If two vehicles get to a 4 way stop at the same time often they'll sit there forever both waving the other to go ahead. Maybe this video is how they drive in Yankeefied places like Atlanta or Nashville.

    What freaked me out in North Carolina is the cars that had a piece of cardboard in the back window that read "License Plate Stolen" and the owner was still driving the car on the street!! That would NEVER FLY in New York State and you'd be pulled over by at least 90 cops even from neighboring counties to give you a ticket here!!!
    Another thing that I found weird in North Carolina was, how many cars were still driving around with the windshield completely smashed too!! Again in New York State you wouldn't make it ten feet out of your driveway if you had a windshield that looked like that, but I seen taxi cabs in North Carolina like this that were still in service, and even got picked up by a couple while I was living down there!!
    Lastly the most weird thing I had ever seen was cars that were on the road and missing "major parts" like in one case I saw an older Cadillac with NO rear bumper, tail lights and the license plate was screwed fast to the truck lid! The clear light bulbs were still hanging out of the rear of the car, but again here in New York that would have been a ticket for "bad lights" but this guy was driving this same car around like it was "no big deal" literally for months like this!! On another car I was getting ready to make a left turn when another car was coming up the street towards me in the opposite direction and that is when I noticed there WAS NOT a front bumper, headlights, turn signals, a grille or ANYTHING below the hood on the front of the car!!! Again you'd have every cop in the known universe on you if that car was on the street in New York.....but in North Carolina that was "normal"!!!
    And don't get me wrong I am NOT complaining mind you, I just found it very odd!! You see I was raised in Ithaca New York (Home of Cornell University) and up here you can literally see in one side of a car through the trunk and out the other side of it, and that is "normal" for some cars up here due to rust!!! But in North Carolina a "rusted out vehicle" has "faded paint on it" and somehow that is "a rust old car" when there isn't a lick of real rust anywhere on the car!!! Used to make me giggle when an owner would tell me "I am sellin' it because its rusted out!", and I wouldn't say word...because in New York those cars would be "mint"!
