SC Fun fact, my friend had to go to traffic court for 90/55 today, with a rap sheet longer than I can think. $335, no points and not a moving violation. And thats not the first time that's happened. Thats the only thing the traffic enforcement cares about.

MM, you, like Meiac, would have to do serious practice on your accent
and local language "skills".

I've lived in the mtns of western NC for 8 1/2 yrs and I still haven't learned how to properly use
the objective pronouns "you'uns, we'uns, and us'uns".

Turn signal usage is a missing page from the NC drivers handbook, also.

I find that putting numbing creme on my tongue generally does the trick. They warmed up to me as soon as I put a confederate flag palmetto tree decal on my car

And my friends (from Maryland) accuse me of having picked up a Southern accent and sounding like a redneck. Great, now I'm in no-man's land, linguistically.

Maybe I need one of those Palmetto decals, although that's not completely rare around here at all.
