Default It’s weird being the same age as old people.

I’m 79 and I hope I never drive like a lot of people here.

I'm not quite 70 yet but I hope I'll never take ten minutes to back out of a parking spot. And I surely hope I never park right in the middle of a parking spot while in my golf cart. I'm never getting old!!

Me too. Just got back from Sam's club. Driving down Anna Maria north a nice person in a blue Vibe at 9:35 ran the stop sign at Bokeelia Villas to pull out right in front of me then proceeded at 22 mph. Thanks for that, I really appreciated it. Then, entering the Pinellas/Morse RB, planning to go straight through to Moyer I was in the OUTSIDE lane, when some idiot pulled up alongside me in the left exit to INSIDE lane and proceeded to make the jack@$$ move of taking the first exit. I think your car was brown, but I was too busy avoiding the accident that YOU would have caused. If that was you, you will know it was me by the fact that I was leaning on my horn---not for safety, but to let you know you are a jack@$$. If that was unclear, I followed it up by saluting you. Then at a light waiting to make a right on 466A, there was no one coming, but the next jerk, the only car in front of me, refused to turn on red, so we sat there 3 minutes for absolutely nothing(No, visibility was not an issue at all). All that in the first 3 1/2 miles of the trip.

So yes, I agree, I hope I never drive like that either.

Three words to remember when driving around Florida and the TV anytime:
Patience, Patience, Patience

Seriously if you value your life, love ones, and keep your insurance low, use patience and you'll be a much happier person and a relax one.
I find complaining doesn't help and you'll you can use your time doing other things. JMTC

Well its February 1, so new people arriving today. Younger than some posting, but driving up to 466 today, I felt I could have been the only person who knew how to drive a car.

Yeah, the first time that happened to me I was shocked, and then it happened again a few days later.

Now I expect it and have learned how to deal with it, so life is good.

Well, I don’t fall asleep at traffic lights, and I don’t need a half mile between cars to enter a highway from a parking lot.

As in:
