Or they turn onto roads right in front of you and go 30 MPH when the speed limit is posted as 45MPH.

I really have to agree about your thought process to endure snowbird drivers. However, on a daily basis, what your are describing as snowbird drivers happens everyday. They usually, if not always, have Florida plates, in the form of big trucks with UPS, FedEx, or USPS doing 45 in a 30 merging to a 20, trying to beat the golf cart. Or the commercial lawn trucks, crossing yellow line to get ahead, of anybody. Da**** those snowbirds.
