North Carolina?
We were just talking about how you have to be a good driver to survive in North Carolina. A bad driver just doesn't get into a fender bender there, they fly off a cliff and die.
Many roads there have 55 MPH speed limits and its up to you to drive at a safe speed. Imagine that?
For example, this road here has a 55 MPH speed limit, notice the lack of signs telling you the speed for the curve? Common sense? Driving ability?
When I first bought my vacation home up there I was having to get used to driving on the mountain roads, I was in my Dodge pickup one day driving as fast as I felt comfortable on the Smokey Mountain Expressway (It was my first time driving it and I was nervous, I was hugging the right lane trying to stay out of the way. A Toyota Corolla passed us in the left lane, in it, a 17 year old girl, with a cel phone to her ear tearing along like it was nothing threading through the twisties on the road.
If your a bad driver in North Carolina you will eventually die, same goes for drunk drivers. Try to drive drunk up there and you'll most likely just kill yourself falling off a mountain.
I cannot speak for the coastal area or the foothills, this is what I saw in the mountains.
