And I thought Florida drivers were bad...

[W4RLR]

Richard, if you think that was bad, wait until the first snowfall of 1 inch or more!!!!

Four years living in New England, two years of driving to Big Bear in California, and three years of living in Germany, I've got the snowfall driving down. The wife OTOH tells me that when it snows, I'M driving her to work.

If the drivers in Chattanooga are anything like the drivers in Atlanta when it snows, I'm telling her she's taking the day off when the fluff stuff starts to fall.

"Florida drivers ARE bad, but the ones in Washington D.C. and from Jersey make them look very good."

Heh, the battle rages and still no winner, we'll never know through all the finger pointing which is worse, New York or New Jersey. I've not driven upstate but dangerous doesn't quite describe conditions in the boroughs where drivers like nature abhor a vacuum so if you can fit a playing card between you and the car ahead another car will fill the space in a heartbeat. Safe stopping distance? HAH!* Then here at the Snookie Shore as soon as they pass the test the manual goes out the window and cyclists think traffic laws don't apply to them. The bicycle cops lead the way, perfect examples of what NOT to do.

* If I can drive it there
I'll drive it anywhere
It's up to you

Is Virginia still cutting up NC drivers driver's licenses whenever they pull them over?

We have lots of crazy drivers down here -- you get used to it. But, the thing that scares me is seeing things such as a whole family riding on the same motorcycle. I see this from time to time.

A few days ago, I saw a father riding a motorcycle with his wife sitting behind him. The wife was holding a baby that was probably less than a month old. Their son, who looked to be about four years old, was seated atop the gas tank. The foursome were traveling down a pot-holed highway. The dad did have his helmet on, however!

I saw a lot of such things like that when I was stationed in Turkey. When I was there the people who were driving were some of the first Turks who actually DROVE a car, as they couldn't afford one until then.

Of course riding public transport wasn't any safer. And you have not known nausea until you have been stuck for hours inside a Turkish bus. If the wild driving didn't make you sick, the concentrated B.O. would.

There was 50 car pile up on I-75 near Sarasota this afternoon.

Sounds like the bus I rode to work on... you guessed it... Route 22.

My most memorable mass transportation experience was in Tokyo, aboard the over-packed passenger trains -- standing room only and tightly squeezed shoulder-to-shoulder, front-to-back, by a group of female university students. Oh, the humanity.
