Hey.....leave the NC drivers alone. They are what keeps our body shops in buisness.

So for all you crazy drivers...........KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!!

( and that includes all the surrounding SC ones as well)

Charlotte drivers are bad, Atlanta drivers are worse, but my vote for the worst in the U.S. is either Phoenix or Nawlins.

You guys obviously have never driven in and around Atanta,Ga. , Atlanta makes the roads around Charlotte seem like a drive in the country. I drive a big truck reguarly around both of thesetowns ,even though Charlotte does suck Atlanta is by far the worst.I almost got killed down there last Sun. , a car hits a 6 wheeled straight truck causing him to loose control , he hits me in the drivers side cab area and forces me off the road and into a guardrail running 60mph. After the dust cleared the POS in the car leaves caring less if he had just caused someone to get hurt or killed.

Agreed. I callthe I-285 loop around Atlanta the "Killing Zone."

No doubt about it... 85 sucks. It may not suck as much as somewhere else but it sucks pretty bad. Was on it today thinking your same thoughts.

Ditto!

Once drivers get on I-85 they act like they're driving Nascar!

I rant everytime I have to drive it in my car. There's no way I'd do it on my bike - I'd be freak'n out!

I can't see how you can put down NooAwlin's drivers... hell what do you expect from people who have drive-thru daquri huts, and (when I lived there) the right to place your open beer can on the dashboard, right where GOD and General Motors intended it?
