re: I hate Florida drivers

Moved to Dallas when I was 23. Got a whole bunch of tickets, but learned to drive really well. Truckers, or anyone that rides with me, think I'm an excellent driver.

Roll ahead 28 years, and I moved back to NELA. Nobody in Ruston gives signals or stops at stop signs. They drive the same speed in a 25 that they do in a 45. Too fast in the 25 and too slow in the 45. They'll get on I-20 to go to the next exit, and never get up to 60 mph. Monroe and West Monroe are the same way.

For the first couple of months when driving my parents around, I wold tell them, "That guy would get a ticket for that in Dallas."

All the cops do here is stop speeders on I20. During the two years the new Tarbutton exit construction was going on, they quit giving tickets on 20. They're back out there. If you're doing more than 75, they will stop you, so slow down in the city limits.
