FLORIDA DRIVERS.
I’ve driven in most states and been abroad.
Outside of videos of driving in India… I’ve never seen anything like Florida driving.
Quick story:
I was helping my mom move down here from Houston. We were driving her SUV with her dogs and an hour north of Tampa at about 3am, I nudged my mom and said LOOK.
It was so empty on that Sunday morning that we could have played football on the freeway… except for two cars in the far right lane. They were so close I was sure it was a late night illegal tow from a friend… NOPE. One asshole was literally up another guy’s ass with NO ONE ELSE ON THE ROAD!!! My mom looked on gobsmacked as she’d thought my stories were just that…
I’ve seen shit in the roads here that defy rational explanation…
It’s sooooo bad.
I drive to and from Florida twice a year. Often...usually in Virginia....traffic comes to a complete stop on I95. And craws along for a few miles (and many minutes). I hate the assclowns who switch lanes back and forth, jumping into small spaces and cutting other vehicles off.....to get to the place where it opens up a couple of minutes sooner.
That's not all. I've told my kids, DO NOT drive like a nut; in a hurry to get where you're going because if you took the time to drive normally, you'd see all that angst, desperation and rush gets you there a couple of minutes or fractions of a minute sooner. You're not going to take 10 minutes off a 30 minute drive!
But my biggest bitch is with motorcycles. They complain people don't look out for them, yet in dead stop traffic, you will see a cyclist driving between cars or on the shoulder because of their size. You can't have it both ways. I've seen that on 95 a number of times and I always hope somebody is going to open a door without looking so I can see the assclown cyclist take the door off. I would gladly delay my trip to be a witness against the assclown.
One other thing I'm most tired of is politics. All politicians lie because they wouldn't stand a snowballs chance if they were honest. And many voters lie about their reason they vote a certain way.....because they'd be labeled if they gave the real reason.
