all fl drivers or just me?

Had similar situation while at the peak of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge yesterday.....guy was in a hurry. Only place he had to go, though, was over the edge, and I'm pretty sure he didn't want to do that. He was looking and moving to the pullover space -thought he might try passing me on the left side.

After coming back from my home country I think Florida drivers are the best! In fact of US drivers!

You folks should visit the northeast if you want to see horrible drivers. Sure some FL drivers have no clue what they're doing but by and large, they're docile by comparison.

Look at the arrest records for the Tampa Bay area; every other one is a driving while license cancelled/suspended/revoked (often says habitual offender), no valid license, DUI, drug offense, leaving the scene of an accident, etc. We are sharing the roads with some real winners out there. South FL was the same way when we lived there, maybe worse. So many people in FL just don't care about having a license, carrying insurance, driving sober and they certainly don't care about driving responsibly. That whole turn signal thing is just too difficult for their walnut brains to comprehend. How are you supposed to light cigarettes, eat, drink, put makeup on, shave, litter, text and Facebook when you have to worry about using a turn signal?

Our car insurance just went up 15% for no reason, my wife and I never had a ticket or accident. I called to inquire why our rates went up and the agent said it was a "general increase" and admitted we are paying for all the bad, unlicensed, uninsured drivers in our area that cause accidents. Because of where we live and all the morons here, we pay more to cover their blatant negligence. Our insurance here is approaching triple what we paid in NJ which is absurd. I shop it around often too and all the insurance companies are sky high for a couple of middle aged drivers with no accidents or points ever. The best part is, when one of these unlicensed, uninsured idiots runs into you (and will probably flee the scene or at least try to flee the scene), then your insurance goes up even more. Total lose/lose situation.

it's not just you!!! We see patients all day, every day of the week, who have been in auto accidents. Some small, some horrific!!! I moved to South Florida from Philadelphia. One would think the city of brotherly love would be bad- it's pale in comparison!!!
My background is in medical practice management- In Florida, we have entire practices, multi specialty with everything from Neurology, to Physical Therapy, dedicated JUST TO ACCIDENTS. I have never seen anything like it!! Florida is a no-fault state which means that even if you are "at fault", your auto insurance still must pay your medical bills.
Anyone know about this? I am just learning....

Fl certainly is in the top ten of worse places to drive. Careless driving is the biggest issue in Fl.
If you are paying 3x the rate in NJ and you are a middle aged couple with good driving records
There is a problem. Please take a few minutes and contact Ryan Green, (727) 498-8854.
Let me know if he can get you a much better deal or not.

Also, I don't care if you think you are going over the speed limit or above it...if you have faster drivers behind you, GET OVER to the right lane.
