Please cut this before the second picture.

Also an old person drove their car through the front wall of the clock shop I worked at in high school. Into the grandfather clock showroom. :|

NO

I spend a lot of time in Punta Gorda for my job and I am so not surprised by this. It's full of rich idiots and no one down here can drive. Pretty sure I've witnessed more accidents in my 6 months of living in Florida than I have for the past 30 years of my life put together.

Every time we go to Florida I just boggle at how badly the residents drive. Don't they even require a test for a license? Do they even require a license for that matter?!?! It's terrifying, I tell ya! My husband and I have traveled all over the US and in some other countries and Florida people top the charts for worst drivers.

[castalianspring]

They do, but keep in mind Florida is full of retirees and transplants, which means you have just about every driving style from every state in the country all colliding in one place. It's a recipe for disaster.

Not shocked at all that they happened in Florida. Between old people and stupid tourists, I see way too many accidents and near-accidents.

[rex_dart]

Oh Jesus the tourists. I spend a week in Orlando for work every year and holy shit the assholes in the expensive rental cars.

The best part is that it's getting to be that time of the year where all the fucking snowbirds start to pour in.

I think people assume that Florida = OMG NORMAL TRAFFIC LAWS DON'T APPLY HERE even though no, double yellow line still means "don't turn here, motherfucker" in Florida, too. I've damn near gotten t-boned because of someone trying to make a left turn that way. @_@

If people want to go on a ~fuck the road rules~ vacation they should try, like... Alberta.

As a person who drives alot...everyday...numerous times,I'm trying to grasp how anyone could get the gas and brakes confused. Seriously. How the fuck do you drive, then? Are they those people that drive with 2 feet? 1 on gas 1 on brake? I hear about this happening alot and it's the same thing: person hit gas instead of brakes. How the fuck do you do that? 1) Make sure gears are set BEFORE you move 2) if you're able to confuse the two, you maybe shouldnt be behind the wheel. As I get older and I witness more amd more stupidity on the roads, as inconvenient it would be to me even, I think you should get road tests every 2 years or so. Too many people out there that have completely lost their minds are driving heavy dangerous "weapons" out there putting the rest of us in danger because they are too incompetent to know which pedal is which. People could have been killed or seriously injured because people cant slow down and pay attention to what they are doing. My brain goes from ?????? to pissed off the more I think about it./ rant over

[castalianspring]

I don't get it either. Even if you do have a brain fart and press the wrong pedal or something, you shouldn't be hitting it so hard that you can't correct it before hitting something. People just like to zoom around too damn much - not surprising that the car in the pic is a sports car.

people haven't forgotten how to drive, they don't give a shit. they drink or use their phone or speed allllll the time and nothing happens! everyone else is an asshole! people already behave on their tests, then go back to being awful.

if we want the man to spend money (driving tests cost more than that fee we pay), it should be on safer roads, better public transit, etc.

YUP.
