^^^ this drives me nuts about orlando. i havent seen more impatient, rude, and aggressive drivers than here in orlando, but i dont drive in miami, so maybe that's the exception. i was in nc for week and it was sooo nice not having to worry about all the crapola

The weavers are all over, not just Orlando. At least in Orlando you don't have to worry about snow and ice covered roads 6 months of the year!

i dont like snow or ice either... but some may rather take their chances over driving conditions here in orlando... either you havent lived here too long, or maybe u dont live here yet. orlando drivers = terrible

He's right. The weavers are everywhere. They are in NC too. At least people up there checked their mirror before doing that to go 45 miles per hour in the left lane like they do in Lauderdale. Now thats crappy driving. In O-Town at least it seems like the left lane is still the passing lane, for the most part, and the drivers seem to check their mirrors before they shift. No red light runners though, instead they just stop on green.

If you're saying it's worse where you are from regarding drivers then you sound like the people you critisize who talk about thier own city's driving habits....besides when there are icy roads its not like there is people going around intentionally causing the accidents....that is more weather related...in Orlando there really is no excuse for the behavior of drivers here.....we have flat land with no real hills....and lots of our roads will have enough space for everyone to drive but for some reason everyone wants to push thier car up your rear and tailgate....and run red lights...and stop in the middle of the road because they are lost instead of pulling over to read a map....ect...it goes on and on...we don't have congestion or weather to blame for the majority of our drivers' attitudes in Orlando

^^^ good point thaspecial. we cant blame weather on our terrible driving habits, only ourselves. it gets snow and ice in nc where i used to live, and i'd pick that i think over driving in orlando.

Do you really think that producing such poor pictures is worth the risk to others of driving in the left lane of I-4 in heavy traffic while photographing the scenery. No doubt you had your cellphone in your other hand...

Do us all a favor and concentrate on your driving - it's bad enough without your deliberate contribution to the problem of inattentive and inconsiderate driving.

thanks for the pics. you may not realize how much people moving to the area might wanna take a peak before they get there. my family really enjoyed and appreciated your pics. thanks again.

The glass can be half full or empty it is you that makes the difference. I have a 408 that is under construction but in short order I will have a nicer more effective highway... Downtown they are building and I see exciting new buildings coming. I could show you amazing flowers, lakes, smiles, parks, and so on... sometimes I have to drive on a road others share to get there. Im yet to see a city without that.
In Kansas City the roads were so bad they put out T shirts with orange barrels depicting all the highways under repair... the sad thing is after 5 years of work they still had bad roads and poor snow removal. If you don't like Orlando. find a better place and call it home. Seems people complain a lot here.... but don't leave. I'd rather focus on the positives. you take good pictures why not show us what you went to? instead of the distractions on the way.

This is an old thread.. If anyone wants to post pictures showing off Orlando, I will put up a sticky. I don't want it to show only the bad as I know there are a lot of good things about Orlando.
