The only thing I really dislike about Florida is how most people drive here. I don't know if it's people from Florida that are bad drivers or if it's people that move here from other states. I'm from WV and do not remember people being such horrible drivers. I moved here when I was 17 so I was only driving for a year before I moved here so maybe other states have the same type of drivers.
About a year ago I was driving on 436 in Altamonte and this elderly man was face to face with me and he never turned his head to make sure nobody was in his blind spot and just starts coming over and there were cars around me so I had no where to go and he was driving right into my car and the side view mirror was pressed against the passenger window. I had to honk my horn for him to realize I was there. That is not the first time that has happened and I'm in a minivan so I'm not hard to miss. lol. I'm not a great driver but I do look before I enter lanes.
Sometimes driving puts me in a bad mood. I can't stand when someone cuts me off then when I honk my horn because the person almost hit me they have the nerve to give me the finger like I was wrong. That really drives me nuts. Another thing I that puts me in a bad mood is when someone is coming onto the main road from a side street they come out and make you have to slam on your breaks then drive slower than the speed limit. People need some patience and wait until there is nobody coming or is far enough down the road so they can catch up to the speed limit. There's many more things I could say about drivers but that would take way too long so I guess I'll end this blog here.
Its not you people in florida don't know how to drive. Especially when it rains in florida people seem to loose there minds.

ReplyDeletesome people just really don't care on how they drive..
ReplyDeleteMore bad drivers here it seems than in Texas.. And here like u said they just pull out in front of you, like you have to stop for them!! I'm on your side hun!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you were driving out by Disney with all the tourists!
ReplyDeleteDon't get me started... I've been driving here for thirty plus years. Every year it gets worse. Probable because there are more people but I think me original theory is correct. In the other 47 states, if You can't drive a lick, You are required to go to Florida for at least two weeks a year. Used to be in the auto tags for rentals all had a "Z" in them. Made them easy to avoid made them easy targets for criminals too. Maybe we should go to other states to share our bad habits too.
ReplyDeleteI think there are bad drivers every where because I been to a couple states and there is always a dumb a** that makes me think were are these peoples head at. but if they get in a car accident there wondering why this happens to them.
