They usually, if not always, have Florida plates, in the form of big trucks with UPS, FedEx, or USPS doing 45 in a 30 merging to a 20, trying to beat the golf cart. Or the commercial lawn trucks, crossing yellow line to get ahead, of anybody. Da**** those snowbirds.

Bad driving happens all year long. It just seems that the REALLY stupid stuff occurs Oct-April. My wife texted me the other day while she was on the MMP crossing on Colony Blvd. headed to Havana. "I know snowbird season has started since I am in a line of 7 golf carts AND A SUV waiting to cross". Earlier this year, in February, I encountered a SUV exiting the tunnel under BV just south of the Liberty Park entrance. Wonder if it was the same driver returning?????:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

We have no problem with snowbirds. We have been full time since 2009 and we look forward to seeing our friends who return after summering in the "Punjab". If we had lakefront, beach front property, young grandchildren, lots of family or friends back where we grew up, we would probably go back home, but we don't, so Florida and TV is our full-time home now. "Go Gators" Welcome back snowbirds.
