[@Bill_N_ATX]

@@06capoeirista I just remember as a young kid walking out of the typical staid Church of Christ Sunday service and hearing the ruckus coming from the Pentecostal church across the street. It sounded more fun for sure. Then I was in military school for a few years. They didn’t care which church you went to, but you were going to church (or temple, as we had a couple of Jewish boys who got lost in Tennessee somehow. But that’s another story) Anyway, I went on a tour of the local churches with different fellow students. The Assembly of God services were certainly eye opening. I went to everything from a Catholic, Episcopal, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Assembly of God, and took some guys to my Church of Christ. Mostly went to the closest Church of Christ but did go to the Catholic Church some since they had a 8:30am service and we could be done early and have the rest of Sunday to goof off. I will say that the experience actually solidified my concurrence with what I had been taught growing up in the Church of Christ. I guess those Bible study classes worked.

From the drivers around here, a Stop sign means the driver with the right of way stops first to wave you on through the intersection because it's the neighborly thing to do. Along with oncoming traffic stops to let you make a left turn and a 4-Way Stop means you'll be stuck there all day waiting politely for the other person to go first.

[@thecrippledpancake9455]

In my small town we actually have a 6 way stop but they don’t make a special sign just for us so it still says 4 way but everyone knows it’s actually 6. 3 on one side of the railroad and 3 on the other.

The Tailgating is the worst, because it's honestly the most dangerous...it makes any emergency stop you need to make a real risk of being rear ended. It matters not how old, nor how large their vehicle is...they seem to believe that their brakes and reflexes are race-car level. I've seen as many as 6 vehicles in a row, all less than 20' apart on a narrow 2 lane road with bends and entering traffic while going 50mph. And they don't like being behind a car with a 40' gap ahead of it, even if both are traveling the same speed, they will pass, regardless of the center road markings and then tailgate the vehicle in front of you...only to end up at a stop sign or light with you right behind them.

"I think we'll just stop and stare at eachother for about 20 minutes" That's so true around here. And then you get into the inevitable car dance of, "ope, you're going? No? Okay.. ope!"

[@jerigabbard6825]

I never got the 4way stop , everyone yields to the one on their right, everyone is to the right of everyone, so there's that, no one moves 😂😂😂

[@tswain92_]

Exactly! I think it's gotten down to who can sneak off first.

[@stephenlurie821]

No, everyone is NOT to the right of everyone.

[@humptyshots6177]

That skit was so freaking funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great job at making us laugh our butts off 😂😂😂

As a newcomer to the South 52 years ago my Southern husband and I were driving through Georgia in the rain on a busy highway. My husband asked me to roll my window down and tell the driver beside us his gas cap was off and rain was getting in. I pointed and pointed trying to indicate the problem. A big ol' Georgia cop pulled us over and asked me if I was "shootin' that guy a bird". I had no idea what he was talking about and in my non American accent asked him why he thought I would shoot a bird. He looked at me puzzled and then red faced told my husband to tell me what it meant. After my husband tried to explain it to me the blushing cop just said, " Don't ever do it again." and walked away.....soaking wet from the rain.

You werent just new to the south, you were new to The States. The middle finger is NEVER a pointing finger in the US! LOL We use our index finger for pointing. The middle finger is reserved for ONE thing, and that Georgia's Finest told you what it was! Live & learn.

[@jomerrell]

@@inconnu4961 No. My husband told me. Georgia's finest was too embarrassed.

[@docl1569]

The yield sign got me good! Scary accurate on that one, Matt lol

[@Schnauzerpatrol]

We get our driving instruction from watching NASCAR.

[@lelandconner3337]

I KNEW it was a Southern thing 😂

[@ronvoltz9125]

I moved to Mississippi 9 months ago... Between Matt and "Its a Southern Thing" this is Soooooooo True. Love this place.

[@kmbbmj5857]

We took a trip through Alabama last year and Google Maps gave directions in terms of Dollar Generals. Only problem was, they'd built some more in between.

[@charlottecunningham2141]

2:37 What ever we want roll tide.😂

[@genghisdingus]

Speed Limit 65 ---southern translation----> Speed Limit 70 to 75

[@zalronwow7222]

Always wondered, if you yield to the person on your right at a 4 way stop, 4 rights, you are back at the start, so no one can go.

[@Icehso140]

I moved to FL in 89 and went to change my license over. The woman wanted to know if I wanted their version of a truck driver's license. I asked what the difference was on the test. She said the written could have up to 5 truck questions, then told me I could get 5 out of 20 questions wrong and still pass, and I could still take the driving part in my car. So...I could get all 5 truck questions wrong and still get a truck driver's license??? Sign me up. Fortunately, they fixed that in 1992 and Mickey Mouse got me my training and a real CDL. Oh, and with the sugar sand in FL on the shoulder, Soft Shoulder means you're getting stuck up to your axles. Best not to pull off the road there. LOL

[@nozgard702]

"... Roll Tide." 😂

[@marianroyal7340]

No, stop and stare at each other for at least 20 minutes is Seattle! 😂

[@frostriver4547]

Stop signs with the white edges are optional

[@DR.K14]

It blows my mind how many ppl in the South use the center lane as their own personal lane to by pass traffic. A couple wks ago when i was going to work a person did it for over a mile bc they didnt want to sit in school traffic before reaching the intersection. Best part there was a State trooper in line and blue lighted them at the intersection. Sweet justice.

[@cptdeadpool9939]

As a trucker, I can confirm all of America drives like the South....

[@ryan8374]

Testify!

[@inconnu4961]

Liar! We ONLY drive like that when you sleepy truckers are around. You can barely keep your truck in its lane! LOL (be safe out there)

[@Gigi5876]

your videos are hysterical!

[@heathersmeather]

I feel like Utah might actually be worse than this satire. Not only do most drivers ignore traffic signs, they also run red lights. Like 2-3 cars go after light changes. 🤦‍♀️ It’s bad. I’ve seen two kids on bikes hit by minivans (moms) who did not stop at red light. Minor injuries but dang, that’s so scary.

[@djv.8424]

Same in Arizona. It’s nuts. Yellow means go faster

[@mathewfullerton8577]

Don't forget the Utah turn signal. The one where the driver is on the freeway in the far left lane and cuts across all the other lanes to go off an exit. They don't use their blinker, you just see them looking over their right shoulder in a crazy way.

[@roberts.1050]

I WANT YOUR SHIRT...... so back in '93 we hooked a boat battery to a travel tv from an RV. And watched the news during the 93, they were trapped at the studio on top of red mountain and had to do their own hair and makeup while sleeping at their desks..... by the second day it looked like news from Post Apocalyptia....

[@clou1395]

Love the survived Blizzard of 93 shirt! We did survive it and still tell the stories

[@scallywag1716]

As someone who relocated to the sign I can verify they do not know how to drive and they don’t know what yield means.

[@dennistate5953]

Sign nearby: Blind Drive. Been barely dodging temptation 2 put 1 below say "Stupid Too."

[@UnoSigmas]

This video was so good. We need a part 2!!

[@DK107]

YAY, MATT CAME OUT WITH A NEW VIDEO!!! ITS A GOOD DAY!!

[@heathwest3718]

I love the shirt! I also survived the blizzard of 93. Right here in western NC

[@jasonrussell5613]

Slow children at play is my all time favorite

[@keithjrisk]

I always felt a little caffeinated beverage would be helpful in these situations.

[@kaboom4679]

I always laugh like hell at those , and the modern passive aggressive transference twist , " drive like your kids live here " .. This raises many many questions , most of which are not going to be well received , let alone answered , by those putting up the signs . They are excellent Ken and Karen early warning devices though .

[@4e616d65]

From my own experience the No Uturn sign means: Tough to make with a trailer.

[@eggsman63]

After driving in the south, I can 100% attest to the fact that Southerners do not understand right-of-way at a four way stop…

[@michellebrown3563]

I agree. Then they start throwing roundabouts in there. Talk about confusing people!

[@leonsus9317]

​@@michellebrown3563 Exactly! I drove in circles in Cleveland Alabama for 10 minutes and still took the wrong turn. SMH!

[@kotlcbooknerd885]

Oh yeah we have a million roundabouts here so much better than stop signs and lights it just keeps going

[@zchris87v80]

​@@kotlcbooknerd885 isn't a roundabout just a...well...roundabout way of calling it a 4-way stop?

[@auburnkim1989]

Oh, we are aware of the law....it just doesn't suit our polite mentality. The rule in the south at 4 way stops always seems to be the order of arrival.

[@jacquelineshukla919]

Ha ha ha, the 4 way stop is always a chaotic situation in Kentucky!

[@GenXfrom75]

3:18 omg not the volume 😂😂😂😂😂 but yeah, that’s facts 😂😂😂

[@TheUnknownLegand]

1:32 *Nashville? I thought thats the whole entire Republic of Texas?* 😂

[@jimierrante-humes1119]

"Pretty much whatever we want haha roll tide" I'm from Ohio and this is how I feel people think whenever I'm in the South lmao
