I call this “north Alabama inferiority complex”.

No county roads for me this year, but when going back to Hutto,Tx I see all of these.

The Okies that would come down to Sherman, Texas are notorious for turning left from the right lane. It was comical - you'd see someone do it and then check the tag - Oklahoma.

The Passing Pussy: Two lane highway, rides your arse but won't pass on a three mile straightaway with no cars coming, continues to ride your arse

The Curve Coward: Two lane highway, goes 20 mph on a 40 mph curve, then guns it up to 65 (in a 55) when the road is straight (making it tough for you to pass)

Drivers who won't turn off the highway until they are going 2 mph.

You're going 60, car passes you, then proceeds to go 58

Tractor in road gear on the highway, won't pull off the road even as dozens of cars line up behind him.

State trooper on the other side of I 49 with someone pulled over, cars on my side slow to 60-65. What the frick is he going to do ... jump in the car, cross the media and come after us?

I-20: 18 wheeler passing another with almost no difference in speed so it takes 5 minutes to make the pass.

Two lane highway with long straightaway, car in front goes anywhere from 45 to 65. Gas-brake-gas-brake-gas-brake ...

Sounds like the QB for Texas A&M has been doing a lot of driving.

agree with all but i give an asterisk to this one:

because it tells you there are out writing tickets so slowing to the speed limit is very wise. its not like "he" will be able to get you, but 9 out of 10 he has a buddy on your side of the road just ahead of you waiting to catch someone who "thinks" its safe because they saw the other cop was on the other side

This pisses me off, but it's not the worst.

Apparently cruise controls are illegal in Alabama and Georgia. Nothing pisses me off more than some dumbass passing me in the passing lane, then moving over in front of me in the right lane and slowing down, forcing me to pass them in the left lane.

Had some dumbfrick in a brand new F-150 do this yesterday. I had my cruise set on 79 and passed him in the left lane. He was doing maybe 75. In the next 15 minutes, this asshat proceeds to pass me and others twice, doing 80 mph+ and then get in the right lane and slows down. After I passed him the third time, I was in the left lane passing another car, and he comes up behind me in the left lane again. I stayed in the left lane and made him pass me in the right lane. If my wife wouldn't have been in the vehicle with me, I would have run him off the road.

What the frick is wrong with you people? Can't you use a fricking cruise control?!

Well if driving 9 miles per hour over the speed limit with my cruise control on, and staying in the right lane unless passing is "being an a-hole", then we're living in bizarro world.
