Why would any of you want to live in a place like that?

Is it a city or an open asylum?
Because we're masochists.

You realize how bad we drive, when you go somewhere else and drive. I drive super laid back, whatever goes style, and i go other places and stick out crazy. I cant imagine some of our really aggressive nutso drivers in these places.
But yes this list is on point and very true. Its just crazy. And whats crazier is like someone mentioned, what the cops will go after, vs. what they dont. Perspective is all wrong.

When I was looking at cars to buy for my wife two years ago I looked at all options, including leasing. The salespeople seemed to push leasing quite hard so I guess they make more money at it. Anyway, it turns out that insurance for a leased car is MUCH higher than for a car that you purchase. I guess it is because so many leasees drive their cars just like you said. We decided to buy because it made better sense.

Forgot my peeve.

If people just merged when they were supposed to, instead of trying to get in front of every car they can. Traffic in the 'mergee' lane wouldnt have to stop and wait for them, thus speeding up the whole process for everyone. but we are of course in MEami... me me me first.

The other one that was mentioned is true too, if people just went along with the flow rather than slamming on the gas and then the brakes, we wouldn't have the slinky effect, with all the cars speeding up and slowing down, wed just be driving, and saving gas and brakes. But that will never happen here.

How about drivers not going when the light goes green, but when realizing it they drop it to the floor. That was my biggest pet peeve driving around miami. Rushing to each light, only to take 5 seconds to realize the light went green. I'm not an aggro driver and never honked, i was just perplexed by this.

Miami is similar to massachusetts aka "m*****holes" though. Drivers in mass are really aggressive, and will taunt you along with making sketchy moves. Mostly in the wealthy suburbs around boston.
