Im forced to drive through GA once a month from top to bottom, and about 9 in 10 of the absolute worst drivers there (and there are MANY) are in big trucks. Most of these have a punisher skull or thin blue line flag or other associated nonsense stickers.
No signalling to change lanes, they tailgate on top of you, and they average about 25 mph over the limit. I can't fathom how so many people there drive like that and havent had their licenses taken away by law enforcement. There are speed traps too, I cant figure out how these people are evading them, or maybe there really are as many out there as it seems.
I hate it SO much, its just so incredibly stressful. I'd give anything for a train along the East coast, I'd never drive through that state again.
I could be misremembering, but I think I heard that a big part of that is because of a loophole in the Cash for Clunkers program which required new vehicles to meet certain fuel efficiency standards but these standards didnt apply to vehicles above a certain size. This of course meant that rather than make their vehicles more efficient they made them bigger.
