Worst places to drive.....

[Plantman]

Looking for some opinions of the worst places to drive in the US.

I live in Miami and I have never seen such a combination of poor planning, congestion and by far the worst, inconsiderate drivers I have seen. That and the fact that just about every driver here seems to think they own the phone booth.

I used to think that drivers in NYC were bad. I have come to believe that they are just aggressive drivers who know how to drive. as opposed to drivers who do not know how to drive.

The new thing now is to have these kids with dvd players installed all over the cars.

I recently was driving behind a pos 1991-5 Honda Civic going 45 mph in the left lane of the Florida Turnpike. As I passed the guy on the right, I noticed the Motherf@#$%! was watching a dvd player that was installed where his rearview morror should be.

It's not bad enough that people are allowed to talk on cell phones while they drive, now they drive while watching TV.

It is not very uncommon here to leave your house at 6 in the morning to take kids to school and see my neighbors walk out of the house,back out of the driveway, and drive all the way to work on the damn cell phone. What coud you possibly have to say?

Another example, I was stopped behind a person at a stop sign and waited for about 2 minutes for them to pull out. They didn;t so I blew my horn and the ***** waved her hand at me to inform me that she was on the phone, signalling to me that I was apparently interrupting her conversation.

Even the damn cops are on cell phones as they drive.

Do other cities tolerate such blatant and dangerous cell phone use by drivers?

I have been to NYC recently and the cell phone using community is much more educated that here.

Everybody and their kids have cell phones here and it;s getting worse and worse.

Have you ever seen:

People waiting for the bus while on a cell phone.

Riding a bike...cell phone in hand.

Running on the treadmill at the gym

Sitting at dinner with the phones volume as loud as can be bothering other patrons

Standing on line at Wendy's while talking on a handsfree set and ordering lunch, explaining to the caller, I'm not speaking to you, you are not fat, I just supersized my fries at Wendy's"

Women on line at the bank, doing the same thing they did at Wendy's, except this time it's a teller dealing with money.

People talking while in the movies.

Sorry for the rant.

Thanks for listening. I gotta go, my cell phone is ringing.
