Why Indiana Sucks..
1. Indy 500 can’t run in the rain.
2. Peyton Manning
3. Notre Dame
4. Worst traffric laws ever
States have come up with some neat little quips to get people to slow down for work zones on freeways. “Slow for the cone zone” comes to mind. The Hoosier State has shunned the soft sell and gone straight for the I-double-dog-dare-you-to-speed-here school of prevention by serving up a $1,000 ticket. Starting July 1, the Indiana DOT can lower speed limits without previous any study in highway work zones. Then, they can send five-0 to the scene to make sure Joe Q. Driver isn’t trying anything funny, even if there aren’t any workers present. The first time Joe’s foot slips after he passes the 45 mph sign, it’s $300. The second infraction is $500. And if that doesn’t cure his wayward ways, then his gracious donation of $1,000 will gladly be accepted by the good state of Indiana. Oh yeah, and if he fights it and loses it’s another $70. Our favorite provision is the “aggressive driving” misdemeanor. If you drive 46 mph in a highway work zone and perform any aggressive action on a driver in front of you, such as flashing your headlights, and you get caught, you get a $5,000 fine that probably comes with its own Howitzer sound effects. If you do it again, the officer will apply a Rowdy Roddy Piper sleeper hold, then pin you to the mat with a $10,000 ticket, three years in jail, and a felony on your record. Don’t mess with

I am 28 years old and have lived in several states in different parts of the country. My job requires travel so I get to see alot of places I’ve never seen before (CA, CO, GA, etc). I recently travelled to IN and it was an “interesting” experience. Many of the complaints that people have stated were found to be true based on my experience. Obesity is a huge problem (no pun intended). That is partly attributable to all of the fast food restaurants throughout the state. I drove on a two lane highway that goes from Indianapolis to South Bend and saw nothing but chain restaurant after chain restaurant with fat people emerging from the entrances. I also noticed the pickup trucks….everywhere. Even in Indianapolis, you see them all over the place. As far as the lack of diversity is concerned, I wasn’t surprised by it because I expected it. Indianapolis, South Bend, and maybe Kokomo were the only places were I saw any semblance of diversity, either in the people or the food. Oddly enough, I had some amazing Mexican and Thai food in the state, which I wasn’t expecting. Overall, I enjoyed the experience as it allowed me to see another part of the country but I don’t think I could ever live there. It’s like a cross between the deep South and the Midwest. You get the paranoia and fear of outsiders like the South with the god fearing style of the Midwest. You are technically in the North but you’d probably think you were in the middle of Alabama if you didn’t know any better.

i live in IN. i have my entire life. i just want to say, yes, most of the people here are fat. yes, most of the people here are stupid. yes, most of the food here is fast food.
but like everything in life, if you dig deep, you can find some good stuff.
we have some awesome thai, indian, greek, irish, and mexican food. there are a handful of museums. there are some art districts.
i don’t really know about the traffic laws. i’ve never driven in my life. but bike rides in indiana? theyre free and theyre BEAUTIFUL, especially in the fall.
it just bums me out that so much stereotypical thinking is going on in most of these comments! not all of us are fat, white, lazy, ignorant, racist slobs… just most of us.

I’m currently residing in Indianapolis, Indiana and I agree completely with samantha, just because the people here aren’t reaching your “high standerds” in intelligence doesnt mean the actual state in general has anything to do with it correct?yeah. So kiss my ass. And ofcourse there are dumb asses in every place you will go so you cannot talk bad about Indiana when There are much worse places in this country, and if you’re too blind to see that then you my friend are what we Hoosiers call a retard
and according to some of these stereotypical posts that much be pretty damn dumb. Yes we have retard people here but what state doesn’t? Exactly. If you would just take the time to see the nice things about this state then you wouldn’t be on the Internet complaining
