Can't complain though, as long as the traffic is moving it beats the heck out of Baltimore/ DC market!
Yes, it definitely beats the bumper cars on the snowy icy roads. If you can go 90 miles per hour all year long...I say....bring it on!

Default One more

When driving in the merge lane onto an expressway, speed up and don't look, you have the right of way!

Funny post, but sadly much of it is true.

Driving in Broward It seems people make decisions out of desperation or selfishness(i.e. realized too late they gotta make that turn and end up cutting you off on the left hand heading south @ sr 84 and flamingo). But as soon as I hit Miami the driving is completely different.

You forgot these rules: When merging on too I-75 -I-4 or I-95 on the on ramp you are suppose too slam on your breaks,"STOP" stick your head out the window, watching out you don't break the antenna off your cell phone too see if theirs any cars or semi's then abruptly speed up and not using your turn signals jump into the far left lane and slow down.
When turning into the mall for that sale you should tail gate the car in front of you for at least 6-8 blocks then rocket past that car slam on your breaks and take a half hour too make the turn into the parking lot.
When backing out of your parking spot,just throw it in reverse!!!
When pulling up too a toll booth pull as far too the right as possible,this way you can open your door and then look for your change too drop in the basket holding every one up.
When driving on the interstate make sure you straddle that center line so no one can pass you.
And if you have those huge hunking boomer speakers turn them up till the blood flows from your ears,because we want ever one too know how cool you are....

This thread should be on the Charleston, SC forum because I see this stuff happening more and more everyday. I frequently say to myself "Where do these people get their license?" We were in FL this past summer and felt right at home. lol

Rubbernecking is not limited to Florida. The interstates are broken,
busted, disfunctional; anything you want to call them.
People are not suppose to speed along at 70 MPH and come to a complete stop without a good reason.
Idiots that brake every so often on the interstate for...let's see...someone
changing their tire....worker area ( nearly the entire state of Georgia on 95)
Even though there is not even a remote reason to slow down considerably or stop; they do it and a whole line of traffic brakes or stops.
These people need their eyes and mental capacities tested again.

Don't forget the windshield wash, it's your best defence against tailgaters.
