Florida, specifically MIAMI is possibly the worst place in the world to drive...coming from NY where people say it's crazy up there, they haven't seen nothing yet with the drivers down here...
Sometimes I wonder if southern hospitality stopped at the GA state line...
Either way, I speed like crazy, use my turn signal NONSTOP, and try not to get hit...Defensive Driver all the way...

It does stop at the GA line. Above that, people marry their cousins. Below it, people marry their kind. Just tonight, I was driving down A1A,and some bastard passed me, simply because I was driving too slow. The speed limit is too slow for people. 
Is my car for sale? PM me if you're in South FL.

Why are you mad? The speed limit is too slow. Speed limits really haven't changed in forever, while cars have become safer and whatnot.
Speed doesn't kill, bad driving does.

im with him!
i may speed but with the driving that i do, people who ride with me are comfortable riding with me at speeds 100+. But being that i dont drive the tour anymore, im forced to drive normal, which means being a defensive driver first.

I thought Tampa was bad but I'm stuck in the Miami area for a few months and it's insane how they drive here. But you know what I've learned? You can't spank a baby for sh!tt!ng it's diaper! Best you can do is be defensive.

[rant(well sorta)]Well, although that may be true, that is not the case in Miami. I learned to drive in that hell hole of a city(as far as the driving is concerned) and the biggest problem is people's ignorance for the law, which is not a defense. I'm in no way saying I'm perfect, nor do I drive like I am. For the most part I only want people to keep up with the general flow, use turn signals, and NOT CUT ME OFF! [/rant]

As you drive south on I-95 from say, Georgia, the supid meter reads relatively normal until you reach the Palm Beach County line. Within a few miles the needle is pegged on 'BRAIN DEAD MORONS !!'
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Gets even worse as you go south. Trust me on that one.
I look at driving in PBC as a challenge - sorta like in Boston or Quebec. In Miami, it's a NIGHTMARE!!

I drive the turnpike down from orlando once or twice a month. And what tourdeforce said is aboslutely true. You hit that Palm Beach County line, drives go from normal to complete morons in an instance. Hit the Broward line and it goes from complete morons to inconsiderate @$$holes. At the Dade county line it just goes to hell. I don't know how they do it. I've seen people that have driven all the way down from orlando with me change completely as soon as they hit Palm Beach. It's CRAZY!
