Unsafe driving rampant in Myrtle Beach area

There is a driving habit in this area that is most bothersome. Many drivers make right turns into the left lane, and left turns into the right lane. Let me point out that these moves constitute an illegal lane change and are ticket-able offenses.

Further, this habit slows traffic for other drivers. The good part for me is that if I get a few scratches on the side of my car, I will take advantage of this habit to have someone else pay for the repairs.
