I find it especially funny the way pedestrians are more like targets here than people who have the right of way. I know, I know natives here are going to say it's the non-Floridians, but I'm not buying it, drivers here have to be the worst in the nation. Drivers education should be mandatory in this state, and I don't mean online driving courses. Just my .02.

I am a native Floridian and by gawd you are dead right in every word you say of Florida drivers. I, of course, attempt to explain these situations as caused by drivers from other states that have retired here or moved here although I know that's only a small portion of where the blame should go.
As a former LEO I have watched poo occur directly in front of me that just makes you scratch your head, again and again.
