I wonder if the thing with Florida drivers is that all they know are flat roads and straight lines? A few years ago I was riding with a recent Florida transplant. Still getting used to coming to a stop while going down hill even after 4 months.
Here, we don't even think about sudden changes in elevation, twisty winding curves for miles on end or roads with an extreme tilt in spots where it is needed to stop road puddling.
Up in the Adirondacks there is no such thing as a "flat road". You are either going up, or down/
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
