lived in s fla. back in the late 80's and it was like a 3rd world country. however, i grew up and still live in houston and people here drive like ******** too. we need to have manditory driving test for everyone every 5 years. maybe get some people off the road. all that would happen is that they would drive without a license...oh yea, the mexicans here do that anyway...

You guys obviously aren't riding in South Florida. That's the norm down here. You want to hear something scary...I've been eating dinner in a restaurant and seen two old people at a table next to me. The guy was in such bad shape his wife had to feed him. We finished our meals at the same time; he gets up and hobbles out the front door on his walker to the handicapped parking where he gets behind the wheel of a new Cadillac and drives off. Happens all the time. Luckily you get used to it and know what to look for to keep from being run over.

I grew up in New Port Richey, which they referred to as the "Gateway To Heaven" way back in the 70's. If you rode a bike down there, you were referred to as an organ donor. Those blue hairs heads barely reached the dasboard, and they never looked to the side, only straight ahead...

At least he responded to the horn. I've had old women violently cut me off, only to get stopped at a light. I laid on my horn, pulled up and yelled at them, waved my arms, etc.
Nothing. No response. They don't even acknowledge that you exist, so how could they have made a mistake in cutting you off? Of course, after my noisemaking, you know she went home and told her family about the terrorist on a motorcycle and how she was afraid to make eye contact, got out of there by the grace of God, etc.
If only she would've made eye contact BEFORE putting my life in jeopardy. Whether they like motorcycles or not, couldn't they at least realize we're human beings with families, friends and little furry animals waiting for us to get home safely?
