Florida has the easiest laws to get a driver’s license. They also have the highest car insurance rates.

And every FL driver will try to say its only the tourists. Like, no booboo, you drive just like the tourists do

Worse than Massachusetts massholes?

buzz78.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yes. From experience. Florida drivers are the absolute worst.
Massholes are predictably aggressive whereas Florida is just pure chaos.

There’s been a number of terrible pedestrian fatalities in Boston recently. It’s seems at least weekly there’s a news story of an suv crashing into a building or driving onto the sidewalk or flipping. In general am hoping they change the roads to make it much safer.

buzz78.bsky.social•28 days ago

The roads aren’t the problem. It’s people’s inability to drive that’s the problem. And jackasses in SUVs have been a problem for years. It’s why I call them karenmobiles.

seb55.bsky.social•28 days ago

Narrowing roads, speed bumps and other barriers slow traffic. Inconvenient? definitely but there’s many examples of how infrastructure slows traffic and lessens fatalities. Some examples https://www.ite.org/technical-resources/traffic-calming/traffic-calming-measures/

I’m very much in favor of things like this. Definitely wish they’d put speed bumps in my neighborhood, people drive so stinkin’ fast.

jetbolt.bsky.social•28 days ago

Oh yeah, they’re nuts down that way.

kingbradentucky.bsky.social•28 days ago

It's a great combination of drivers that don't give a shit, drivers that don't know where they are going, drivers that think they are special and drivers that should be medically taken off the road.

intrusivewarpainte.bsky.social•24 days ago

Oh yes, I had a wonderful break from them on a trip to New York State last week and I was like, “What do you mean people know how to drive here? Where’s all the unnecessary breaking and no turn signals?”

treboroslive.bsky.social•28 days ago

Oh I lived in Central FL for 15 years, and have lived in CA, NY, AZ and even driven in Cairo, Egypt. But you could at least explain some of the incidents as global tourism. I live in RI now, and I've never seen such god-awful drivers, all of them grew up here.

hcwalker16.bsky.social•28 days ago

I’ve lived in Florida longer than I’d like to admit. I can confirm this to be true.

countrygal.bsky.social•28 days ago

Did you ever drive in New Jersey

hoatdoags.bsky.social•27 days ago

I drove from south Florida to upstate NY. I took the NJ turnpike. Florida was worse.

bmiki13.bsky.social•28 days ago

Riding shotgun w my mom in a rental leaving Miami International made me miss DC drivers - that’s saying A LOT

legers.bsky.social•28 days ago

I was just coming here to say DMV pretty terrible!

bmiki13.bsky.social•28 days ago

Miami drivers made me miss DMV drivers but PITTSBURGH roads made me miss the worst roads here. Specifically the roads into Pittsburgh itself. Every foot there was a pothole.

odysseygtr.bsky.social•28 days ago

Fact

hoatdoags.bsky.social•27 days ago

TX, MD, and FL are the WORST drivers on the road.

rofe.bsky.social•28 days ago

Please share examples of bad FL driving.

drjensbeautylab.bsky.social•28 days ago

I would love it if you compared FL drivers to New Mexico drivers, cause if FL is worse than us, wheeeeeewwww

lisha-tee.bsky.social•28 days ago

It’s worse, I went to college in NM and now live in FL. It’s worse.

drjensbeautylab.bsky.social•28 days ago

WHOA I am terrified!

fuqyu.bsky.social•28 days ago

South Carolina: Hold my beer!

scot-f.bsky.social•28 days ago

Florida and Massachusetts are worse I've ever seen.

buzz78.bsky.social•27 days ago

You’ve clearly never driven in Rhode Island 😂🤣🤣

scot-f.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yeah, it's cute how the rest of New England lets them think they're an actual grown-up state.

aliciam1.bsky.social•28 days ago

I don't live there, but I've driven there before, and I'm convinced that most people don't even look. They just go, consequences be damned. 😆

happylilcoo.bsky.social•28 days ago

It's like you can't come to Florida unless you're a bad driver. 😭

enriquebedlam.bsky.social•28 days ago

Oh you down here again?

bikesbeardsbrews.bsky.social•28 days ago

You misspelled 'gods waiting room'

riveredelalune.bsky.social•28 days ago

Just a reminder-
there are only 37 Floridians left.
All these other people came here from somewhere else,
and frankly, we wish you would take them back. 🙄
