What about South Florida-West Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties?

South Florida has the worse set of drivers in this country:

Most cannot read a sign.
65% of drivers in South Florida cannot speak or read english.
Cannot drive.
Do not know how to use their signals.
Do not yield.
Cut you off either on I-95 or the regular street roads.
Could not parallel park if they had to.
Talk on their cell phones for 40 min driving from Broward to Miami-Dade County.
DMV in South Florida allows persons to get their driver permits on line by taking the test on line and not at a proxy site.

Personally, I stay off of I-95 if I can help it. There are other roads to the same places. I can think of an easier and less painful way to injure or kill myself than being maimed by this useless drivers in South Florida.

I am originally from New York.......so I know what I am talking about as an outsider watching these drivers. New York and Boston has nothing on these bad drivers in South Florida.

What do you expect from a state whose people can't figure out a voting machine?

You are right.

Coming from the north, I was just expecting too much..................

Oh yeah, Florida is not the only one with drivers driving in the "passing lane". When I was living there that is one thing I hated, one person in the driving lane and the other in the passing lane, you can't get around! Colorado is like that too.. People really need to re-take their lessons. lol But hey , I'm sure everyone has done something stupid at one time or another, everyone except lil ole me.

Ford 2005 V8 mustang driven by myself.

Nice! In red too, that would make me want to speed like a crazy lady!

I had one speeding ticket when I was 17 (driving on a freeway up North), never had another one since. I've never been in an accident where I hit someone, I've always been the person getting hit or backed into. My Insurance rate's pretty good and has been from what I can remember.

As far as guys, I've heard they always have a higher rate- I have no idea if it's true or not.

I must agree with ronin here and say that driving through South Florida is one of the worst driving experiences i've ever had.

As far as my driving history, I must say that i'm a patient driver most of the time. I've haven't had any speeding tickets but i've received a warning for speeding. He asked me if I was aware that I was speeding and I told him "yes". He said he'd give me a warning since I was so truthful.

I was involved in a car accident a few months ago, was found at fault and cited.

I've been in a couple other accidents where others were at fault, but thankfully no one was ever hurt in either one.

I think it is wrong that girls got a better deal on insurance simply because they own a vagina. Hell, I think women should have to pay more! Have you seen how they drive in a mall parking lot?? They will run you over!

Anyway, I was a field engineer for about 6 years and drove about 50,000 miles a year just for my job. I managed to get quite a few "speeding" tickets. Usually these "speeding" tickets were written by police in little crap towns in rural Georgia that run speed traps. I got a ticket in Pendergrass, Georgia. There is a brand new 4 lane divided highway running between there and Athens. Well, there are many sections where the speed limit is 45 miles an hour. I already was aware of the speed trap so I always strictly adhere to the posted speed there. Well, of course I got pulled over, in a 55 mile an hour zone, doing 55 miles an hour. The cop pulled me over and told me that he clocked me doing 55 in a 45. I said I was going 55 in a 55 mph zone. He said no. I said yes. It just so happened that he pulled me over with me staring directly at the 55 mph sign through my windshield. I said "Hey, look at the sign!!" He said that didn't count. I went to court. The judge made me pay, even though I took pictures and everything. The very last ticket I got was comming home from Florida on my honeymoon. There is a speed trap on I-75 in Dooley county. Little town called Vienna. It doesn't matter what speed you were driving, they write you a ticket for 83 in a 65. The cop stopped me and told me this. I said that I wasn't going that fast. His response, "Betcha you was, Boy!" Okey dokey! They stopped my dad in the ver same spot with the very same story, except he was driving a moving van at the time that had a 70 mph governor on it. It wouldn't go 85 if you got out and pushed it. Bastards. Besides the speeding tickets, that's it. Personally, I think speeders should get awards. They get there quicker, thus reducing congestion on the roadways.

I am a women driver, but not agressive. I do not believe it is necessary to tailgate someone or illegally pass someone just to get to the next light. And if you are on I-95 or even on a local road, there is no reason to be on someone's bumper because of impatience.

Suggestion: leave for your destination on time or earlier and that will eliminate speeding or cutting people off the road because you are late or in a rush.

Having been employed in the insurance industry for 27+ years, I agree that the insurance companies should re-rate their policies and include high rates for women also. I noticed that in the past decade women have become even more agressive on the road, very impatient, applying make-up while driving, talking non-stop on their cell phones, etc.

It's time for 'women's liberation' to really be just that when it comes to rating auto insurance policies.
