Graciegirl, bad drivers are everywhere. However, there seems to be more in FL than elsewhere for a reason. I will have to tip toe lightly here, but it may be due to advanced age. I went to college in Daytona Beach and had a motorcycle for the occasional fun ride. My primary transportation was a car but the enjoyment of riding A1A to St. Augustine on a sunny Sunday morning, with the sun rising and few on the road was something truly special.
I may have been 20 but I rode that bike “like a little old lady,” yet I still used up 8 of my 9 lives. I could be at a stop light, on the left side of the lane so I’m directly in front of the driver’s vision and they still hit you. They come out and say I didn’t see you. Really??? I’ve been sitting right in front of you for the last 2 mins in a big red gold wing size bike and you didn’t see me? Yes, that happens more often than you think. The only thing all these people had in common, age.
I just had a birthday (54) so I’m quickly on my way to being one of those people. I pray I have enough self-awareness to know when to sell the car but I doubt it. As the population of TV gets older, you’ll see more driving issues.
