Kind of makes me think twice about driving through Kentucky. Honestly, especially driving through cities like Louisville is a nightmare for me not only because of the construction, but the drivers there are way more aggressive than I'm comfortable with. I'm not saying that everyone in Louisville or Kentucky are bad drivers, but it only takes a handful to ruin it for the rest of the bunch.
