Florida Drivers!

     This one has been brewing for quite some time now.  I am originally from the Northeastern part of the United States, so I have driven in Philadelphia, Boston and New York City.  I lived 10 years in southern California, so I have driven in San Diego and Los Angeles.  I have driven in bright sunshine, hurricanes, tropical storms and blizzards.  I have been in 2 accidents in my lifetime and both were where someone hit me.  I have always found there are really a few rules that come along with driving a motor vehicle in inclement weather.  Basic stuff like always have your head lights on, your M.P.H. should be alot slower than the posted speed limit, brake earlier than you would if in good weather and always use your blinkers or turning signals(depending on what you want to call them, I use blinkers as my choice).  There are more basics to follow but those are the important ones.
     So, a few months ago I moved to sunny Florida, the sunshine state.  In those few months I have been almost T-boned 3 times, almost slammed into the back of a bunch of cars, been cutoff more times in 3 months than 10 years near L.A., almost backed into in pretty much every parking lot I get in, almost side swiped a ton of times from cars just randomly swerving into the lane I am in.  There have been others but at this moment I cannot remember them.  Apparently in Florida you don't need to know how to drive to get a license.  First things first, USE YOUR FUCKIN' BLINKER!.  It is the lever behind the steering wheel on the left in most cars.  It is used to let the people behind you, or just around you for that matter, know where you're going and that you may be slowing down.  I think I may be the only person that uses mine in this whole state.  Secondly, if you are at a stop light or sign and you need to turn right and there is a long line of cars preventing this from happening, JUST WAIT LONGER!  Pulling out in front of the last car in the line that's doing 65 then slamming on your brakes because you want to turn on the next intersection is asking for death for the people in the car you just cut off.  Why can't you wait for one more fuckin' car you impatient sonofabitch!  Thirdly, the car in front of you is doing 10 M.P.H. over the speed limit, you try to put the accelerator pedal through the floor of your car to pass that car.  I do not mind being passed at all, it's just when that same car gets in front of then tries to put the brake pedal through the floor almost causing me to end up in your trunk.  And you commence to Driving Miss Daisy!  WHAT IS WRONG IN YOUR BRAIN HOUSING GROUP?!  
     In all my years of driving motor vehicles I have never seen a full state drive like shit before.  I used to think Massachusetts drivers were the worst but they have been bypassed by the sunshine state.  The drivers in this state suck some massive ass.  It's all fine and dandy that the Florida government made texting while you drive illegal, I get that.  But why haven't they made driving while you suck at driving illegal?  That's all I got for now, until later.
