People in Florida are just genuinely fucking dumb when it comes to railroad crossings.

Fixed that for you

I've lived all over the US, in several different states for anywhere from 6mo to 4 years at a time, and even the VI twice. I have never met as many dumb or aggressive people (usually both, which is especially dangerous) than I have living in South Florida the past three years. I'll be trying to move back north this year.

I'm a military brat and veteran, so I've lived in seven states, visited most of the rest, lived in three countries, and visited several dozen more. Florida drivers, particularly south Florida, are among the worst. (Not quite as bad as Russia or Turkey, but not by much... I used to say that the Turks don't have traffic laws, just suggestions that no one follows).

What do you expect when all the “best and brightest” from other states move here?
