I once saw someone with New York (go figure) license plates PARK on Dale Mabry trying to figure out where they were going. Who does THAT!?

Really? Orlando isn't exclusive to bad driving? Who knew? That must mean the driving is indeed excellent.

You should alert ComSense of this, but it NEVER happens in Asheville right?

Who does this kind of crap?
You have emphasized that incident A LOT i the past. For the most part driving has been a pleasurable experience for me. It only seems to be on OBT that I ever have any issues

If you are constantly almost hitting people from behind, you are following too close. That's a pet peeve of mine, and I wish the police would ticket a lot more people for doing so. There would be a lot less accidents.
So because following too close is a pet peeve of yours then there would be no budget crisis and the line at the Orange County Courthouse for traffic would be out the door and onto Orange Avenue

I suppose you NEVER follow too close right? And as usualy always quick to say something is MY fault

Not saying that this is your fault, but I too hate tailgaters.. I rear ended someone when I was 16 and ever since, I stay a safe distance while driving even if it may **** someone off behind me that there is space

Hey, let's not even BEGIN to try and compare the amount of cars that hit houses in FL to that of NC.

Gimme a break. You know how often they hit houses in FL? Just the watch the news to see.
