This is true in my experience. I have grown up in the south and lived here a total of almost 30 years, whilst also spending years in Colorado and in Florida and plenty of big city, cross country, and mountain driving and international. Basically just lots of driving lol. I've only been in Richmond 6 months and it is by far the most reckless and mindless driving I have ever experienced. People are bad in other places, but I've never seen such a large percentage of people straight up not pay attention, talk about drinking and driving like it's absolutely fine, not even pay attention to the lines and be absolute pricks. Also speeding on one ways or neighborhoods, parking lots. I've developed extreme driving and car paranoia in the last 6 months.

I think it's because people know this town like the back of their hands and just are too comfortable tbh. The roads are some of the weirdest and most nonsensical I've ever experienced.

Edit to delete the I'm sorry cause I'm not 👌
