Why Are Bismarck-Mandan Drivers Always Driving On the Wrong Side of the Road?

Coming from a North Dakotan, North Dakota drivers are THE worst. And the worst of the worst drivers are on the roads daily here in Bismarck-Mandan. I see people run red lights long after the lights have turned. And, for some reason, there are tons of highway drivers who drive well under the speed limit in the fast lane. But the worst of the worst drivers are those who drive the wrong way down the road. And it happens far too often.

While I was driving home from supper last night, my friend called to ask if I saw the person who turned the wrong way on the road. I had not seen this happen, but my friend told me that the car took a left to go south on State Street, but turned into the North-bound lanes! How does this happen?
