The absolute world's worst drivers all reside right here in Southeast Florida!

I guarantee one week here and you will see every boneheaded stunt that could ever be experienced on the road...it is scary and ludicrous!

I turn up the radio to escape from the hostility, breathe deeply in and out, say a few Hail Mary's before setting off to work each day and always try to maintain a postive attitude,no matter what death defying craziness I see on the way...
I just breathe-in...breathe-out...and drive politely and defensively, to get safely through another day.

Although that is the way I learned, if you did that here there would be an idoit cut in front of you without the use of a blinker.

I've riden motorcycles for many years and I have always thought that they are safer drivers than anyone else who has never been on a bike. The reason is that they learned to be a defensive driver first. I drive my truck defensively and can usually judge what one will do, but the unexpected can always happen. So many drivers today are not concentrating on driving, but are distracted from their use of cell phones and other things.
