I disagree that all the road rage is because of the tourists. They tend to not know where they are going but at the same time more likely to signal and leave a safe distance between themselves and the car in front of them. The scariest moments I've encountered driving in the Orlando area involved young punk/redneck types in wife beater pickups tailgating me. It seems like the drivers in Orlando and in much of the deep south states are extremely unskilled. There's lots of tailgating (Birmingham, AL was a nightmare), slow acceleration, extremely slow or extremely fast (no one on the same page), + red light running

You said a mouthfull there, spot on. I have some white trash living behind me, she doesn't keep her dog in her yard, but not for long because she never got it tagged. She smokes dope and lets her kid play in her yard full of dog piles, barefoot.

Then there's some more white trash across the street, she collects SSI disability for her back but it didn't seem to bother her while she was busting up her concrete driveway with a sledgehammer and replacing it with pavers.

I sure wish they would go back to NJ and CA where they came from but what the hay, I guess they're enjoying life in the land of the lawless.
