Driving in Florida...

I've been saying I was going to write about driving in Florida for a while. These people are crazy!! If it's not 90 MPH on the highway, it's 35. On the city streets, they stop out of the blue, in the middle of the road...no blinker, no clue what they are going to do...then bam!!...a right turn (or left) -- You gotta be on your toes.

Traffic lights are mere guidelines...If you are stopped at a red light, you've got to wait a good 20-30 seconds before proceeding because somebody is always (and I mean always) running the light. And heaven forbid if you're not quick off the line, because there is somebody behind you that's going to toot their horn at you!! It's both annoying, disrespectful and in many cases un-safe. --

I've never seen so many bad drivers in all my life. At least in California when the traffic is bad, you're not moving!!

We saw one hot rod on a motorcycle passing us at probably 100 mph, weaving in and out of traffic and then popping a wheelie (Show off)...

You can kinda tell when people are lost...then watch out, they'll be coming at you, because you are where (they think) they need to be.

At least we don't have those funky Michigan turning lanes that if you want to turn left, you have to go past the exit, almost make a U-turn, then turn right...How dumb is that?
