Since I got my Jeep a year ago, I've had so many people cut me off, brake check me, pull out in front of me, combination of all those and more. I drive what I consider to be normal. I stay in the right lane, never speed more than 5 or so over, use my turn signal, etc. Just yesterday I was on the interstate, doing 70 (65) in the right lane and a Honda civic cuts over and slams their brakes on. I was tempted to not slow down so much and give them a solid tap with my bumper since I have a dash cam... But this happens on a normal basis since driving a Jeep. And I've talked to so many people who just generally hate Jeeps for no reason at all.
IMO Knoxville has some of the worst drivers in the south. Generally speaking, huge assholes that choose not to acknowledge that the left lane is for passing. Knoxville drivers will drive slowly in the left lane purely out of spite.

Otherwise, the only incidents i have whilst driving my jeep is hot women hurling their panties at me. It can get quite distracting.

Itā€™s you. No issues driving around town.
Guess so. Just weird that it happens semi regularly suddenly when I get a jeep and never before, in the 20 years I've been driving, 7 years driving locally for a living.

Here in Houston TX they have some of the rudest drivers and they have zero problems cutting you off to get one car length ahead, also lots of under insured or uninsured drivers here so I keep my distance.

Its all the Californians moving to TN. Same thing has been happening in AZ.
As a native Californian Iā€™ve watched people from all over the country move to this state and itā€™s now ruined. Next time a ā€œCalifornianā€ moves to your state ask them where they were born. What goes around comes around.

Maui, and Hawaii in general, is pretty chill. The Aloha State still has some aloha.

Dang. I live in Knoxville and it's a terrible place to drive, surprisingly. I've driven in most major US cities and I'd rank it top 5 worst driver locations. It's weird. Weird demographics.
Have you tried taking the ā€œROLL TIDEā€ sticker off your bumper?

Must be something personal? Nope, no issues.

Car jackers will bump your rear. They want you to stop and get out to inspect the damage. They jump into your car and drive off when your out of the car.
