THE STATE OF FLORIDA DOES NOT WANT TO UPSET ITS ELDERLY POPULATION.
One of my neighbors lost sight in one eye and was driving from PA every year with just one eye!, and that too is legal in Florida. To take it even further, what about all the early dementia patients here! |
So the best one can do here in Fl. is exercise a good amount of due diligence when on the road. I love bicycling and I refuse to give up something I love because of what MAY happen.
