You too can DRIVE LIKE A REDNECK

Just follow these simple instructions:

note: even though authentic redneck driving normally requires the biggest, loudest pickup truck you can possibly afford, that is not necessarily a prerequisite. We've personally seen perfectly acceptable redneck driving behavior being exhibited in normal passenger cars. Clapped-out muscle-cars and beat-up sedans of 70's vintage generally lend themselves well to redneck driving techniques.

First, prepare your vehicle for proper redneck driving:

remove the turn-signal fuse from your vehicles fuse block

disconnect all lights except for one headlight¹ and one rear parking light

remove all mufflers and resonators (or at least replace them with their straight-through glass-packed equivalents)

Then just follow these simple driving rules:

either never drive more than 20MPH or less than 70MPH

take your half of the road right out of the middle² (particularly on curves and hills)

take every opportunity to cut-off drivers at intersections and run red lights (and don't forget to lay on the horn and make obscene gestures to the other driver after forcing them to slam on their brakes)

before making any turns, always swerve the opposite direction first (or on multi-lane roads, make sure you are in the opposite lane)

It also helps the RDE (redneck driving effect) to have a vehicle that leaves clouds of noxious smoke in it's wake. For this reason, vehicles powered by un-tuned and worn-out engines are preferable.

And... don't forget the golden rule of redneck driving: the biggest vehicle always has the right-of-way!

¹It is important to aim your one operational headlight so it points directly into the eyes of oncoming drivers. If you want to get fancy, wire your headlights so the driver side headlight is always on high-beam [and pointed into oncoming traffic], regardless of the dimmer switch position and the passenger side headlight only comes on at high-beam mode. We've seen drivers who have done this and it's really an outstanding RDE [redneck driving effect].

²This is particularly important on narrow dirt roads. When driving on these, remember that the more off-road-worthy your vehicle is, the more of the graded roadway you need to take up. Any opportunity to force a regular passenger car off into the roadside rubble and weeds should always be taken and is paramount in demonstrating your mastery of RDT [redneck driving techniques].
