Move Out of the Left Lane! A blog that reveals the truth about "FL drivers."

Found this article that is pretty interesting...

In the next 20 years the number of elderly drivers (persons 70 & over) is predicted to triple in the United States. As age increases, older drivers generally become more conservative on the road. Many mature drivers modify their driving habits...

Okay, sorry I have not posted for a few days BUT I had an older person pull out in front of me today clearly without looking to see if there was a car coming. He came up to a stop sign and without even a pause, he rolled right on through the stop sign into my lane. I got around him and looked over at him in his car, he had some of those large, black sunglasses on that you don't even know if they can see through... At least I didn't get a bird flashed my way, right??

This video is downright hilarious. Check the older woman at the crosswalk before the guy honks the horn, she is either asleep or totally just using the power of the old people!

Well today I am happy to report that I did not receive the "florida bird" today but I will tell you what did happen... I was on my way to lunch and as I get to the parking lot, I was turning in and stopped as I saw a mini van coming out of the same isle that I was getting ready to turn down. I have my truck that was larger than the mini van that had an older couple inside and they were also taking up half the isle by being close to the middle. So I motioned for them to go ahead (pretty much to get out of my way, with a nice thought of course) but he quickly pointed that he was having to turn my way. So I went with it and I turned in (knowing I was not going to make the turn in one motion) getting close to the mini van but still a good foot and a half from it. He throws up his hands at me, I just smiled and thought I tried to let you go but you were insistent and stubborn.

So I didn't get the bird my friends but I can tell you that the old couple was staring me down and not very happy. You think it's because I'm younger?

Okay so if you read my last post, I'm trying not to get the bird from the old people drivers (not that I can control that but you know). Well I am happy to report that I did not have the "FL bird" fly my way after I headed out from work BUT I did happen to watch an older man drive right into a median and hit a small tree enough to knock it out of the ground. There was no one around him as I watched him from the other side of the road, so I have no clue to why or how he managed to run up the median and snap a small tree from its roots...

So today there was no bird, but there was a tree. I'll report again tomorrow if I am 2 for 2! (and if I'm not I'll still let you know)

Okay so I had this discussion with someone the other day about how the older people drive here in Florida. I told them that I get flipped the bird at least a few times a week especially in the "season" time. They laughed saying it must just be you... So I am going to try and not get flipped off this week by an older person. Let me note too that I don't go piss them off, it's somehow like I said earlier in a post that I go about my way driving and they think I'm the bad driver...

So as I leave work today I will hopefully try and dodge "the florida bird."

Okay, this is hilarious and don't put it past the old people for doing this here in FL!
