Tampa drivers suck

AppleZ · 08-26-2011, 10:25 PM

Seriously, just moved here 3 weeks ago and yeah, I'll make a good generalization. Nobody uses their blinker, and everyone cuts you off--especially in the rain. In the rain, a lot of people drive over the speed limit. I cruise at 75-80 in dry conditions, and still get passed up. LOL. I also travel to and from Orlando every week, and I gotta say I see a crash or rollover almost every commute.

What's with Florida? You're keeping me on my toes daily out here!

Vent complete.

I live in Orlando, and I always think the drivers here are bad until I head down to Tampa. Good luck. It's crazy out there.

this isn't texas anymore. kill or be killed. eat or be eaten. learn how to drive your car aggressive or else you will get in an accident that probably won't be your fault.

Florida is Death's waiting room.

Many people don't understand that you need your headlights on anytime your wipers are on too.

Many people also don't understand that when a car is coming up on you quick on the right lane you need to move over. I don't care if you THINK your 70mph warrants you being in the fast lane for your entire trip. When I come up behind you at 80+ move so I don't have to be swerving in between lanes and possibly causing an accident or slow down and wait 4 minutes for you to pass the car in the other lane doing 67

Just do like I did. Buy a DD that gets 40 mpg and concentrate on the mileage meter. You will be in the slow lane, oblivious to all the carnage going on in the center and left lanes. I hate that little meter, but I do drive safely.
