Florida drivers.

They just **** me off, from not knowing that a center turning lane isnt a 4mile merge lane, to what turn signals are for. Then it seems that most people dont obey stop signs, or any signs at all. No wonder so far i've seens about 8 car crashes in the 2 weeks i've lived here.

Just on the way home today, i've had one car just cut right in my lane or try to, cas they didnt see the merge signs for the last 2 miles. To another driver who thought they could use the merge lane to try to merge into traffic, then that same driver passed me out in it just to cut someone esle off in the same lane.

No one is perfect, im not perfect driver myself, but it just seems like most people here dont care if they get in an accident, or care about other people.

Haha, welcome to Tampa. But uh yeah, traffic is shitty anywhere there is a major metro area, so get used to it. And if you think Tampa is bad, you should try driving in L.A., now that is shitty traffic.

This is true, but I was shocked at how people in fla drive when I stayed for like a week on jax beach. I mean, I live like a 6 hour drive from mexico (ft. worth, tx) and your drivers are crazier than mine.

The thing that got me was pulling onto 3rd st (I think it was 3rd st) where the speed limit was 40mph, but everyone was going at least 60-70mph.. All the while 2 cops are posted up in a resteraunt parking lot with a hooka on the sign (seriously false advertising, they got pissy when we asked if they sold glass pieces) and they didn't care at all! It was like they were used to people getting close to travelling double the speed limit. Crazy stuff there.
