So, my opinion may be a bit biased because I live in the Land of the Fucking Awful Jackass Driver From Hell™... but seriously, nearly every single goddamn person in Florida on the road is an inconsiderate, self-serving FUCKER who has NO IDEA how to obey traffic laws, and thinks they are the MASTER of the road. - .-

Just a few minutes ago, for example, I took a Left turn onto a 4 lane road. There was no right-bound traffic, and there was a gap in the lane I was merging into. I went ahead and did it, but it was a little rough as my car currently has no right-hand rear view mirror.

I wound up merging in safely, with a decent couple car lengths both in front of me and behind.

The car behind me suddenly speeds up, and tailgates me like crazy. Like I can barely see the grill of the fucking car in my rear view mirror, tailgating. I think to myself, dear sweet jesus fuck I hope this traffic light right up ahead of me doesn't turn red or I'm fucked (50 MPH btw).

Luckily the light stays green, so the intersection goes without a hassle... but then a gap opens up in the right hand lane, as a couple cars decide to turn right.

The fucker behind me immediately changes lanes, pulls ahead of me, and shifts back into my lane, and then slows down to 40 MPH. The speed limit just went up from 45 to 55 at that intersection.

Since there's almost no traffic in front of him, and the other lane is empty, I think... wtf was that pass for? So I do the logical thing, since I like driving the damn SPEED LIMIT at the very least, and try to pass him. Hit my signal, a few seconds later I shift to the right hand lane.

The fucking jackass in front of me CHANGES LANES as I do. I think... WTF? Ok, nevermind. I abort the lane change halfway, AND THE FUCKER ABORTS AT THE SAME TIME.

I change lanes fully, he does the same, AND BRAKES this time. - .-

Their rear window was dark, so I couldn't see inside well, but it looked like two teenage guys in the front seats, and at least 1 teenage girl in the back. The girl is actually looking out the back window, and the driver is looking in his rear view mirror, watching me.

I look directly into his rear view mirror, and give him an incredulous look, coupled with a shrug (using my leg to hold the wheel steady for the moment). Their response? Braking again. I flip the fuckers off now, cause at this point I'm royally pissed off. The dude flips me back off - .-;

Finally someone passes me in the other lane, and I sorta "break my own rules" and very quickly change lanes and tailgate him just long enough to pass the jackasses who've been blocking my driving. 30 seconds later the ASSHOLES are indistinguishable in my rear view mirror.

By far, the most completely fucked up experience I've EVER had on the road... but I've had a lot of other fucking STUPID ones here. I HATE OTHER DRIVERS SO MUCH.

That is all.
 
Oh, oh, and on the way home, as I was driving down a 35 limit road at 40 (cars ahead of me limiting my speed in this case), I also, of course, nearly got hit by some jerkass who comes out of a blind side road, which has a stop sign, and by the time he actually stopped, he was almost halfway across my fucking lane.

I'm REALLY good at swerving now. Thank GOD there was no oncoming traffic or I'd be so fucked right now.
 
Everyone is gonna say where they live has bad drivers. Heh, I know a lot of people who say drivers from Michigan suck (only because we're from Ohio and a little biased). Truth is, every location has their idiots and their smart drivers. I know I've done plenty of stupid stuff driving (and I'm sure my husband would agree with me). I also know I've done smart stuff driving. There are so many things that can go into account about why people drive the way they do.

Not saying you aren't in the right to be pissed off about that, hell I would be too. Its just that it cracks me up that most people would say their area is the worst.

Well, just to give you a flavor of what you're missing:

Yesterday me and a friend of mine were in the college library, she doing homework, me using her laptop. After a few hours we get hungry and decide to go grab a bite to eat. So, we go to her car, we start leaving the campus, and quite suddenly we see this girl on a car covering her face to the side opposite us. We couldn't quite see what was going on.

After we get to the light right outside the campus gates, the girl's car goes a little forward and we see a car with like five guys and they're alternatively mooning her. I mean, the driver even got out of the car while waiting for the red light to change... After a while, the girl got freaked out and she did a U turn (a very dangerous U turn) and went behind the line again. We were next up.

My friend decided she would go forward to a slightly dangerous spot in front. The front of the car was very near the oncoming traffic from the left. What do the mooners do? They go forward, too. THEY PASS US, so that they have an angle that looks directly at us, they're practically in front of us. All the while, the traffic coming from the left is zooming past. They almost crashed against the imbeciles. Until they finally hit reverse and went back a bit.

wtf... just to moon people you have to go to all that trouble?

When I moved to Winter Park, FL to attend Full Sail for a year, I met people from damn fucking close to every state in the Union, as well as a handful of people who were from other countries.

Every single person I talked to on the issue agreed that the drivers in Winter Park were hands down worse than where they moved from. Without fail. I talked to at least 100 people, including people from Chicago, various parts of California, Brooklyn, and Boston, which I understand are only 'slightly' better than FL... but still they agreed that FL is worse.
 
It sounds to me that the guy knew how to drive but just didnt like you.

Raw driving skill isn't in question, knowing how to drive well involves more than being good at handling your own car... >.>
 
Every day I have to roll my eyes, honk my horn, and or slam on my brakes in Dallas. Everyone thinks they are in a freaking race to get to where they are going, and if they let even one car get ahead of them, they have lost that o' so precious race.

I like messing with them though. I'll swerve into their lane a little bit, and make them think I'm about to change lanes into them. That either causes them to slow down enough for me to get over, or they get road rage, and do stuff like that jack ass you had the displeasure to deal with.

I'm guilty as well, and every time I do something that I yell at other drivers for I feel like a real ass. lol
 
U-turns are illegal, but there are some places here in Toledo I know of where you kinda have to make them... and those are the only spots allowed... you can't get to businesses on the other side of the road without it. The areas where you can legally make u-turns have enough room for you to do so, but you have to wait for all opposing traffic to clear before turning. I don't really hear anything about accidents at these spots, but I can't say they don't happen.
