Let's start a list of them. I'll go first.

1. Stick figure families
2. Driving in rain with hazard lights flashing
3. Driving too slow in left lane
4. All lanes of cars pacing each other so nobody behind them can pass (this is especially maddening)
5. Salt Life stickers
6. Bare feet on the dashboard or hanging out the window
7. Not letting in a semi truck when they NEED to move over
8. People stopped on train tracks
9. People slowing down to near 0 MPH in a no-stop Sunpass lane (as if their car is going to outrun a radio signal if it goes too fast)

Did I miss anything?

I kept seeing this sticker at my local library. I think it belongs to our punk-gothic looking (pierced, tattooed, serial-murder-looking) male librarian. Finally I had my ipod camera to capture it. Somewhat funny, if you ask me.

  1. Not using blinkers when making turns
  2. Tailgating to get someone to pull over
  3. Driving at dark without headlights and or tail lights
  4. Skipping over solid lines in the acceleration lane to overtake another car trying to blend into traffic

hahaha, that *is* funny! I see those family stick figures ALL THE TIME.

A side note to that...IMO, it's not a good idea (from a safety standpoint). From those stickers alone, as a scammer, I can determine how many children you have, whether or not they are teenagers or small children, what sports they play, what kind of pet you have, and often times, what you do for a living. That is alot of information to begin with if I want to run a scam. Just saying...

Not using turn signal. That one annoys me the most.

Funny about #9. Florida's toll roads are contracted to Raytheon. They build missiles that can track and shoot down falling satellites that travels at 22,000mph+ so I think your car passing the toll road collection sensor at 70mph is not a problem for their system. For all we know, they probably can also collect your speed, diagnose your car engine, and take your blood pressure too.

I don't think this is just limited to Tampa, because our drivers up in OH meet all those except #5 and #9. Lol those stick figure families are beginning to get annoying anymore, they are literally on all minivans i see!

Add New England to the list minus #5 and #9.

I'd like to see a stick figure family of 6 on a mini Cooper.

I worked with someone years ago who got a ticket for sticking his foot out the window while driving.

I love the 'match box' cars that sound like they're using a lawn more engine as they drive down the road.
