Living far away from Sumter and school has many downsides, but nothing is worse than making the drive to Sumter and back everyday. Something must be clearly wrong with driving classes because no one can drive on an open road. I’m not going to act perfect and say I always drive like how the law expects me to, but I can not fathom the reasons people drive like they do. In November, I had to stop in a long line of traffic because some person was going twenty mph on their tractor on a main road resulting in the entire left lane being backed up. In December of last year, somebody was going so fast that they almost caused two accidents within three minutes, still not slowing down after both. Even worse than the drivers is the road itself, because it is littered with bumps and holes that make every drive bumpy and overall unpleasant. Going over the bridge to go into Columbia is worse because people are racing each other to be in the left lane ahead of others even if there is only one person in the lane. People are incapable of driving regularly, regardless of traffic and weather conditions.
