I didn’t think anywhere could have worse drivers than BR, until I moved to Texas/Mexico. Throw in using cell phones while driving adds greatly to the danger from idiot drivers in every city in the country.

Baton Rouge is in the amateur status. Come to Houston for really bad drivers.

If you see a turn signal on in Baton Rouge it came that way from the dealership.

Turn signal bulbs are too expensive to use.

Also I don't use my brakes to stop with , don't want to wear my brake pads down.

Sidebar, but i wanted to cut an a-hole's throat yesterday. I'm cruising Airline at about 60 in the right lane (the speed limit) around Woman's Hospital. Jackass enters the highway in my lane from a side street to the point where I had to brake pretty hard. I looked in my mirror and there were ZERO cars behind me in either lane.

So the a-hole had two outs--he could have waited an extra 5 seconds for me to go by, or he could have turned into the left lane without forcing me to brake. But he chose neither

I've noticed that apparently, license plates are optional these days.

I don’t give a frick about turn signals when I gotta watch their wheels so they don’t cross the center line and hit me head on going down a 2 lane highway because apparently it’s a requirement to drive and text at the same time. Horn gets a workout on Highland fo sho!

Idiots will speed up on you if you signal for a lane change.
Deal with this daily in my company truck. I've put on the blinker to change lanes and had the person behind me swing over and come up beside me to keep me from getting over. Like, I'm in the process of getting out of their way, but they'll either ignore the blinker or see it as a personal affront to their way of life.
