Yahoo News reported this morning that of the 15
most dangerous cities to drive in (gauge is fatality #s) within the USA - Florida can claim
4 spots, including the
top two. For us,
Orlando is closest, coming in at #2 (We can blame tourists for that).
Jacksonville is #11 (Blame the never-ending construction) and
St Petersburg is #12 (We can blame old people there). And the
top slot goes to
Ft. Lauderdale. For all of I-95, I choose excessive speed and impatience as the cause. You can widen it, fix what needs to be repaired, but
you can't fix attitude.
This is the Beltway, in or darn close to Arlington, VA - rated
the safest place to drive in the USA. The traffic is horrific, no matter the hour, and the only reason more people aren't killed there is because it's impossible to travel fast. There are fender-benders in the thousands but no-one can go fast enough to have a serious impact. I rest my case!
