I'm surprised he didn't stay and try to blame you for rear ending your own car. That would not surprise me in Mee-hami.

Were they talking on their cell phones while riding the donkeys?

JulianM09-- Dont worry you are not wrong in this arguement! The people you are arguing with compare the city of Miami to the city of Atlanta, then they compare dade county to Atalnta, then they compare it to the whole metro area of atlanta, then they compare the two counties to each other..they dont even know what they're trying to prove! And they tell you that you dont want to admit its a miami problem, but it seems to me that they're wrong and dont want to admit it! Oh and by the way, Jacksonville has the highest vehicle death rate in the state of Florida, which means it is higher than miami! And believe me i am not trying to say it isnt a bad thing or theres nothing wrong with it, but im with julian and i say that you guys need to recognize that miami isnt the only city with this problem!

PS- About a family member being hit in an accident that becreas mentioned, i had a family member hit by a car (but luckily not killed) in Jacksonville and in Tallahassee, and it was because of wreckless drivers, so yeah its not only a miami problem.

Miami-Dade had almost 3 times as many hit and runs than the entire county which Atlanta is in. And that's sad.

You think there are as many people in Miami-Dade Co as there are in Atlanta?

I don't think anything. I don't have an agenda (e.g. "Miami sucks!"), and I'm not emotionally involved in the argument. I want to see the numbers.

I was unable to find the source of the OP's article's data.
