Florida Driving Exam
People from different states drive differently. I can understand that in certain states, driving skills aren’t as important (like in Wyoming where the game “padiddle” is replaced with “I can see another vehicle”). But Florida needs to set some ground rules of the road. You should have to make a double lane change and exit off the interstate in a matter of seconds as a part of the driving exam. I admit, Florida has its share of drivers that think they are in NASCAR, and I am not an advocate of them or their mullets, but there should be a separate driving exam for the state of Florida. A North Dakota drivers license shouldn’t allow you to drive in Florida anymore than a liver donors card rents you a book. I wonder what others think should be on this driver’s exam. If you can’t shift, send a text message, and merge on the interstate, you should stop at Georgia.

I’ve heard that the number one reason old people die on the roads today is left turns. So I say we should just eliminate all lefts and make three rights instead. I know that in certain parts of Florida it is nearly impossible for people to even lean to the right, so I don’t know how this would work. Also NASCAR folks like the left turn so much it would be hard to abolish.

What you are describing is the tourists and retirees… and on both of them, I agree with you. I’m talking about the real meat behind the US’s southern dangling member.

Florida has the worst drivers in the country. Your state flag should be 2 knuckles and a steering wheel. Old people drive really slow or really fast, all over the road, and truly don’t care if they parish. The 1st question on the test really needs to be can you see this 1st question. 2nd question: Have you had heart, liver, or kidney surgery today? 3rd: Why are you so horrible at driving your HUGE car (essay)?
