Except me.....Moral of the story: Pretty much everyone in Florida sucks at driving
I’m a horn blaster. If you’re just sitting there, I’ll get your attention.When a person somewhere in front of you is on their phone at the red light and finally realizes the light is green and turning yellow so they get through the intersection but everybody behind them has to wait through another sequence.

No, it’s clearly Palm Coast.When I worked in Orlando, I thought, "Central Floridians must be the worst drivers in the state."
When I worked in Port Orange, I thought, "Damn, I hate Port Orange drivers, these gotta be the worst drivers in the state."
Now I work in Palm Coast, and I think "My goodness, these people are the absolute most awful drivers."

Yes! Tons of New Yorkers there. Lots of terrible drivers.No, it’s clearly Palm Coast.
Waaaayy too many Yankees in Palm Coast.
Most people who do this have probably rolled into the car ahead of them while texting so they're giving themselves more time to continue the practice.People that stop a buslink behind the car in front of them at the red light blocking the turn lane.
No.Drive 441 through the villages, then take 466 and 466a. I worked 22 years there and I think every car there, including their golf carts, have wheel rash or missing hubcaps.
Then for fun do it again when the snowbirds are back
For more fun take 301 from Wildwood to 42 in Summerfield between 7:30 to 0am, and again from 5 yo 6 pm.
Ans whatever you do avoid 484 and I75.... to think of it I75 and 326 is no picnic, and Buc-ees may be planning a store there
Also a great "Curb Your Enthusiasm" episode where there is no ability to give a polite "soft tap" honk with a Tesla.I’m a horn blaster. If you’re just sitting there, I’ll get your attention.
One comment: It is best practice to leave enough room between you and the-car-in-front-of-you to easily navigate out. If the-car-in-front-of-you dies and someone is on your rear-bumper, you're stuck.Most people who do this have probably rolled into the car ahead of them while texting so they're giving themselves more time to continue the practice.
A good rule of thumb is to stop far enough behind the vehicle ahead so you can see where their rear tires touch the ground over the hood of your vehicle.One comment: It is best practice to leave enough room between you and the-car-in-front-of-you to easily navigate out.

Have you ever noticed that if you ask someone about their driving skills, they'll usually respond they are above average or better. Rare is the person who admits they are a poor driver.
Oh and I hate two footed drivers. I can only imagine how often they need their brakes serviced.
That's the exact rule they teach in classes focused on situational awareness.A good rule of thumb is to stop far enough behind the vehicle ahead so you can see where their rear tires touch the ground over the hood of your vehicle.
