Video Compilation Celebrates Three Years of Awful South Carolina Drivers
A YouTube user named HaloMasterMind117 is providing video evidence to support the findings of a controversial study: that South Carolina has the worst drivers in America.
Based in the Columbia area, HaloMasterMind117 has been driving around the Palmetto State with a dashcam for three years now, and to celebrate the anniversary, he recently put together a 20-minute compilation showcasing the worst of the worst.
If you’ve got time, sit back and watch as bad drivers in South Carolina run red lights, cut off and brake check their fellow motorists, and drift in and out of lanes with carefree abandon.
Buckle up—it’s going to be a bumpy ride:
Some of our favorite highlights include: At around 6:17, a driver is instantly punished for his impatience. At 7:40, a top-heavy motorcyclist has some trouble with the curve. At 8:59, a South Carolinian provides his nuanced take on why the economy’s so bad. At the 10:20 mark, a very punchable driver pulls some obnoxious crap.
Perhaps best of all is the guy at 12:44, who earns (and receives, from HaloMasterMind117) the “Idiot of the Year” award for his shenanigans.
The video ends with a nice little montage that features (at 17:40) someone leaning out of their dented-up PT Cruiser to spit in the camera’s general direction.
Someone get the South Carolina Board of Tourism on the phone—they’ve got a new image for the “Welcome to South Carolina” billboard.
