This person is not kidding........I can assure you of that.

We often went to Naples when we stayed on Sanibel Island.
However, Naples is a beautifully laid out smaller city.....so worth the visit.

Venice and Sarasota were also bad as far as terrible drivers.

We were only 49 when we bought the condo on Venice Beach........but, one had to be careful out there, especially during what they called the "high season" with all the snow birds. Inattentiveness was the norm on the roads.
Not to mention pushing the shopping carts in the supermarkets.
