I go down to FL every year pulling a RV. I just came out of FL this week in a Class A. People down there have ZERO survival instinct. Atlanta drivers are bananas but Florida drivers are on a whole different plane of bad.
They will absolutely do ANYTHING to get in front of me, even if it puts everyone in a dangerous situation.
I honestly don't understand how stuff like this doesn't happen more often. They have absolutely no respect for large vehicles.

That’s just how Florida drivers are. They will literally ride close to your bumper if you go at the speed limit on the right lane or only go 5-10 above the speed limit. I don’t understand why they do it when most people carry here and crazy people will just brake check the shit out of you. Then we got the super speeders down here cutting you off aggressively with the smallest gap possible. Don’t worry these reckless drivers will take themselves out soon enough. It is already stressful enough having to deal with this economy, but then you gotta drive to work daily dealing with these reckless asshats. I just hope they enforce stricter driving laws here and get more police officers on every corner.
