But Little Rhody is much, much worse. Two infamous, almost unbelievable moves that you only see in Rhode Island: 1) Drivers suddenly stopping dead in the middle of a multi-lane highway for no apparent reason... ... and, 2) Drivers cutting over from the high-speed left lane in traffic all the way over to the extreme right lane to exit the highway... in as little as 100 feet. And the weirdest part of all? They aren't doing that by accident or negligence. They are doing it intentionally for the sheer "sport" of it. I kid you not.
