Do people slow down when driving in rain in your area?

Ok well I can believe that. I-4 is the absolute worst

That’s a California excuse too, I don’t buy it. I’d say under 50% of folks do it overall, regardless of place or weather. I’ve always been attuned to that though, it was a pet peeve of mine before I could even drive. Turn signals are so easy.

Rain causes a few to freak out, and most to carry on as normal. Both aren’t good or warranted.

OKC drivers are the worst with this, with accelerating into the gap to block you from getting in front of them. A lot more of that in OKC than SoCal.

But your claim of "most Florida drivers fail to signal" is pretty absurd... how would you even verify something like that? You're either making this up or confidently repeating something you "heard" that's so obviously stupid I don't know what to say.

My reply in bold.
