It never gets "better". Wrote my (negative) comments on this yesterday, and today, on far south portion of Buena Vista, had a DOUBLE tandem pull out of a residential street near Havana C.C. at a rate of speed you'd think they could never reach on such a street... no visible license plate of course, and entered Buena Vista just expecting the cars in the right hand lane to to move left for their big rig... Makes a person wonder if all of them even have a valid driver's license. Florida in general, does seem to have a much higher tolerance for this type of thing than most states we've lived in ? Lack of available appropriate police recruits ? Who knows ?
