Both of those are illegal in SC, and people have no problems running a red light or chancing a stale yellow.
It works, to those who are paying attention. Just give the green light a second or so before you hit the gas. Now everytime I go back up to MD, I think those people are crazy for the sheer volume of cars and other jackassery that occurs.
I thought people were crazy in Louisiana until I got used to it, Galveston, Houston, LA, Santa Barbara, etc etc all seemed like anarchy to me.
They are crazy here. When I lived in Minnesota, they were just stupid. I rarely had a motorist give me problems. Sure if you look in the archives from 2004, there was a driver who passed me so close on a four-lane road that I chased him for more than a mile to the local mall. But, other than that, I never had as many 'incidents', as I do here in Maryland. In Minnesota, they were far more patient, than they are, here in the DC-Metro region.
