LOL. I've gotta admit, of all the places I've driven, Florida was probably the scariest. New Jersey and Los Angeles could be intimidating, I guess, but I learned how to drive in the San Fernando Valley, so places like that are/were a breeze for me. Florida, however, is different. It's very deceptive. Yes, it's true that just about everyone is either going well over the speed limit, or well under it, but what makes it scary is the fact that a good majority of the seniors that are driving down there don't seem to realize that there are other vehicles on the road. You get lulled into a false sense of security, until the gentleman to your left decides he needs to turn right, whether you are there or not. Everytime I'm there I see countless people making last minute decisions, damn everyone else. I'm not saying this doesn't happen in other places, but in Florida, it just seems to happen more. Otherwise, the people are rather friendly, but it's still a risky place to drive. I'll take the turnpike through Newark, or the 405 through Westwood, anytime over driving up A1A.
Take care,
