That particular behavior is not uniquely Southern- I have friends up here who do exactly the same thing. The only difference is that Northern rednecks also have snowplows attached to their trucks, so that they can "make extra money clearing driveways", and also spend the day driving around town drinking with their friends, avoiding their wives.
The REALLY sad part is, I'd be one of them, but my truck isn't rated for a snowplow.
