Is it against the law to use a damn turn signal in Tennessee?
I don't think it is, but since we have no state vehicle inspection I guess it's not against the law to have non functional turn signals either ...hahaha

HaHa How about when the light turns green it means GO! not sit and wait for a min lol
And I thought NY drivers were nuts, I lived in TN for over 10 yrs now and would still rather deal with gridlock than the drivers in TN.

Well, here is my point of view as far as going when the light changes to green. It is much safer to hesitate for a few seconds (probably feels like a minute to other drivers) to make sure the traffic coming from the opposite direction does actually stop. Then proceed with caution. Too many people run red lights. My life is worth more than other people's impatience. Sorry, don't mean to offend.

I think an intelligence test should be given to obtain a license. this would greatly reduce the number of cars on the road. this also would result in less accidents, smoother traffic flow, and safer roads. if stupid people aren't allowed to drive it benefits us all. I was at a DMV office and one of the people taking the test was obviously high, how he managed to pass the test is a mystery, maybe it was the law of averages, or luck, i dont know. but he pulled out in front of an oncoming vehicle right in front of the DMV. he just drove away, rear end smashed in. seemed like he didn't have a care in the world.

Alot of us would rather you and the rest of your old yankee buddies go back home and enjoy gridlock there too.
Here's a tip. We don't like you.
Some of us may pretend to but really, not a single one actually does. Not one.
Take that with you when you go.

You'd think that with all the little old ladies that work at the DMV offices and the county clerk offices throughout Tennessee, this would be enough bureaucracy in place to prevent anyone from ever getting a driver's license or license plate.

I don't see an intelligence test happening for the same reason why there is little accountability in getting a lottery scholarship: too many people related to Tennessee lawmakers wouldn't meet the requirements.

Speak for yourself you leftover retard with the brains of a rock. Your mentality of us vs. them is embarrassing to those of us that have evolved past that old level of stupidity and divisiveness.
Take that rebel flag and shove it up your azz.

I'd rather take the flagpole and spank these intolerable yankees back where they came from. I'm afraid I don't have a rebel flag, though. Just because I detest yankees doesn't mean that I would uphold the confederacy and it's misguided beliefs. You are not a gent, you're just uninformed. Why don't you go back to Philadelphis too? See how YOU'RE treated there.

I've been to Phila, NYC, and a host of other northern cities as well as southern and western cities and several other countries for extended stays meeting the rich, the poor, the educated and the uneducated, and what I can tell you is that people are people. There are nice folks and stupid jackasses spread everywhere. To insult or discriminate against a whole group of people based solely on geographical location is about as stupid as it gets.

How can you refer to them as intolerable yankees and think you're better when you're acting like an intolerable southerner?

Just borrowed this from Tri-Cities.com :
"According to recent tests conducted by GMAC Insurance, Tennessee drivers are on the slow side of average when it comes to driving.

The test covers 20 common questions from drivers’ education exams across the country. Some 5,000 respondents from all states, including Washington, D.C., tallied in their answers on the poll.

Coming in at numbers one and two, respectively, were New York and New Jersey – which should be no surprise to some of you out there. In fact, overall, the Northeast turned out the worst scores in the nation.

The bordering states of North Carolina and Virginia fared much better than Tennessee on their knowledge of safe driving. North Carolina was 20th in the nation, with Virginia coming in at 21.

Other states in the Southeast, including South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi all scored around 70 – 74.9 percent correct on average. A score of 70 percent is passing."

There is a test there to take if anyone thinks they can pass it. A lot of so-called excellent drivers just might fail. And I would like to add: hating on outsiders is not the Christian way if that is what you consider yourself. You know who I mean. Try liking people and you will feel a whole lot better about yourself.

Southern yankees are intolerable because they didn't have the good sense to stay where they would be accepted. Instead, they chose to head south and spread their brand of obnoxiousness amongst us. Most of us southerners are just too polite to tell them to STFU and get out.
I don't seem to have that problem.
It's a heavy burden I carry speaking up for the rest of you weak spined pansies but hey, someone's got to do it.
It's the American way!
No need to thank me, I'm proud to serve.
Cash donations are always welcome though.

The worse drivers are anyone on I-95 near Philly, and a tie of the drivers (idiots) on the Beltway around D.C. You are totally unable to drive defensively while on these roads.. you just hope you get where you are going in one piece... I just got back from TN this past weekend.. I'll take TN and their drivers anyday over the madhatters on the roads up north...even with I-40 shut down and everyone driving like madmen on 640. lol

Well David you blind asshat if you had bothered to read a damn post prior to running off at the yapper like an over flowing toilet you would have seen where Masondixon Guard said, "Why don't you go back to Philadelphis too? See how YOU'RE treated there." to me which is why I said what I said.

Now, open your eyes, shut your mouth, and get the f**k outta my face dumbass.
