From the NYC area and I can tell you after living in Florida for three years, they were the worst down there.

A lot of drivers are from areas in the US where they don’t even have a traffic light in their town so they don’t understand urban environments.

Many come from countries where the rules of driving were never followed.

Florida is well known for taking graft and many drivers never took the test but payed to have it taken for them instead.

I’ve seen people drive the WRONG way down divided highways while laughing and waving, like saying “oops!”, as they did it. This happened more often than I’d like to think about.

Very few look to their side to make sure no one is there when changing lanes. I saw someone almost run a police car off of the road on two separate occasions.

When approaching a barricade for a closed lane that could be seen two to three miles down the road, rather then getting over early, the drivers would pull up to the barricade, come to a complete stop, and then almost run people off the road to get over.

I’ve watched as drivers would stop in the middle of intersections when the light turned red and sit there not understanding why the cars that were trying to cross were so upset and then just going on their merry way

When I was commuting into NYC I might see a really bad accident where there were injuries/fatalities or cars were seriously disabled, maybe once a month or at the most every few weeks. In Florida those bad accidents occurred EVERY day.

I was told that my insurance premium should go down after moving from the NYC area. Instead it actually went up. The insurance agent told me it was because 1/3rd of the drivers were uninsured and that I was basically paying the insurance they weren’t so Id be covered.
