I got a mark down for not doing what he said. Oh my. Well, the good news was that I only had to drive around the block for the rest of the test--all left turns. I passed.

Matt certainly has his Southern religious affiliations down pat too. I grew up a member of the Church of Christ and we had a Pentecostal Church right next door.

@@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.

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.

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.

[@secretstacker5097]

STOP is an acronym for Squeal Tires On Pavement

[@terrydirks4441]

I was living in South Georgia when I turned 16 and took my driver's exam. The driving portion was literally 6 right turns. When I parked my truck in the end, I parked it VERY crooked. The lady giving me my exam said it was alright.

[@dennistate5953]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@Cathasaigh82]

There is so much truth in this 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. Not me yelling "You're killing me Smalls!" at people every day on my way to work.

[@Schnauzerpatrol]

We get our driving instruction from watching NASCAR.

[@lelandconner3337]

I KNEW it was a Southern thing 😂

[@quanqued]

In SC, there was a 4-way yield intersection when I was growing up. No one knew what to do with that one.

[@dennismoore1116]

Where I grew up was a 5 way intersection. Two stop signs, two yield signs and one no sign. Now if you weren't from that neighborhood, how would you possibly know how to navigate that? For that matter how are you supposed to navigate it? Yield means go ahead because those other guys have to stop, but not if they are on the road with no sign?

[@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.

[@Dr.JeremyDunks]

"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!"

[@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)

[@ronvoltz9125]

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

[@ARandomsoul]

2:37 What ever we want roll tide.😂

[@4e616d65]

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

[@frostriver4547]

Stop signs with the white edges are optional

[@albertkoeniges2173]

Matt you have to throw a “roll tide” in every video, hysterical!

[@clou1395]

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

[@kaboom4679]

You missed the Mississippi take on " yield " , which is a dead stop , ESPECIALLY on the interstate on ramp , as well as the Arkansas variation , which is " I yield 3 times , didn't ya hear me ? " . In Nashville , it's just hit the gas and point it where you want the wreck to happen .

[@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 .

[@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.

[@nozgard702]

"... Roll Tide." 😂

[@genghisdingus]

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

[@GenXfrom75]

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

[@gamingnerdgirlz]

0:57 stop and stare at each other sounds right here in Texas. Happened often. “You go.” “No you go” Repeat. 🔁 Welcome to the south everyone suddenly becomes nice to one another at a 4-way stop. 🛑

[@jtg55]

"You don't how to drive, do you?" "I ain't got a clue." Ah, Florida.

[@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.

[@DK107]

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

[@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....

[@Walter-wo5sz]

And traffic cameras were put up as a test of marksmanship.

[@juliebrooks627]

I have found that a lot of people in AL don't seem to know what the center lane is for. They will not pull out until all traffic in both directions is clear.

[@paulsullivan4133]

4 way stop signs are an opportunity for clueless drivers to take a moment to admire the other vehicles around the intersection, check their phone, wave others on, check the rear view mirror, and slowly meander through at random notice.

[@bernadettepersons-nelson2400]

So true! My husband and I disagree on yield signs. He thinks whoever speeds up and gets there first just keeps going.

[@McSomething15]

The Roll Tide did me in lmao
