Has anyone else noticed that Cherokee County has the most STUPID @$$ed drivers in SC? If it's not some soccer mom yacking on a cell phone at a red light, it's another moron not using his ^%$#ing turn signal! No wonder our insurance rates are higher than any in SC. Seems like Honest Johns five and dime had a sale on drivers license and every dumb @$$ with $.50 cent was there to buy one! No wonder there's so much road rage! Come on people, hang up the phone, use that little stick on the left side of the steering wheel and learn to drive! [glow=red,2,300]TEXT[/glow]

I wish SC would pass a law prohibiting using a cell phone while driving!

I don't think Cherokee county can claim all the idiot drivers. I think people get away with whatever they can - that's human nature - and the real problem is that people are allowed to get away with far, far too much down here.
I've seen so many people driving around WITHOUT LICENSE PLATES. Almost no one signals their turns. Very few have any concept of the proper way to make a left turn, and almost no one knows how to actually put a car in gear and GO at a green light.
South Carolina officials have NO excuse for not having more income to fix the roads, etc. All they would have to do is to enforce the laws that are already on the books. There would be so much money coming in that we'd be rolling in it.
The main point I wanted to make is that these idiots are endangering OUR lives. And that is very, very bad.

Don't get me started on stupid drivers!! You are absolutely right! That is my biggest pet peeve. I am very lucky that I do not carry a weapon in my glove compartment. LOL There would be no one else left on the roads when I got through with them. It drives me nuts when someone pulls out in front of you then drags their butt along, and when someone is yakking on a cell phone and almost side-swipes you on the interstate. Or when a woman is looking through her pocket book, putting on lipstick, fixing her hair and doing God-knows-what only to FINALLY drive at the short-lasting green light, only to get you stuck at it when it turns red. Or some stupid teenager speeding by only to almost run you off the road. People that pretty much STOP before they turn withOUT using their signals. But don't forget the people that poke along at 35 MPH in the left lane on highways and interstates. These idiots are more dangerous than the speed-demons on the road. Oh, I could go on and on and on about this... thank goodness there is a place where I can FINALLY rant-n-rave about it. Thanks! ;D

Whenever I come back home, it's a relief to drive around Gaffney. Of course, I live in Sarasota now, and there are an awful lot of rich-giantSUV-driving-cell phone yakking females (btw...I am female, and I drive an Element, but people in humongus vehicles should be EXTRA careful not to hurt someone else) or scary old snowbirds that think they've paid their dues in life and now they have the right to drive however and wherever they want, whether or not they can see clearly...
My husband calls them Floridiots.

;D MJIT...LOL that is so funny, Hubby and I lived for 7 years in Hollywood Fla and that had to be the WORST!!!! One day I was going to work and was almost side swiped by a car driven by a little old lady who could barely see over the dash and she was driving with her *knuckles!* her poor hands were so crippled and twisted with rheumatoid arthritis she could not properly grip the wheel! And then there are the {{{{{oldies}}}}}} driving the BIG cadillac and Lincoln and think they don't have to obey lane changing rules or, signal when turning. Who drive 30 miles an hour down the road weaving from side to side blocking traffic for blocks!! Please don't get me started on cell phone use, at least just before we left NY State they passed a law that you had to pull over and stop if you had to use or take a call. I could go on but suffice it to say I DO know what you mean LOL
