And what happened to "Right turn, Right lane" and "Left turn. Left lane"? Tailgating is ridiculous too. Not sure what happened to "Florida's Friendliest Home Town".

Some, TOO MANY, forget the goal is for ALL to get there in one piece. The goal is NOT to teach others how to drive. We tend to notice STUPID drivers not safe ones.
The round a bouts it is a reach to believe that all know the rules and a further reach that they know the rules and will follow them. Driving in another drivers blind spot is risking an accident and yet some chose to sit there.
It used to be taught as defensive driving. Simply, if another driver of perhaps road conditions cause a potential accident where will you go to avoid an accident. If, the answer is you have no place to go to avoid an accident due to an error by another driver-you have ALLOWED YOURSELF TO BE IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME.
