I live in TN and this has been my everyday experience since I got my license in 2015.

Might simply be the new normal in all US cities then. Though more terrifying when it's someone doing it in a larger vehicle.
My dad lived in a Memphis, and his parents lived in Murfreesboro. I've done extensive driving in both of those areas, and the stretch of I-40 between them. My dad passed away a couple of years ago, but I haven't seen crazy drivers in TN that are as bad as the ones I've seen here in Texas.

Somewhat crazy, yes. But not as bad.
