The snowbirds...

ARE BACK! Really, just shoot me now. In the last two days I have seen some of the most insane driving. I think I'm going to have to put the M3 away for the winter...not for the weather....but to make sure it doesn't get hit! Anybody else dealing with this?

You're telling me. 70 mph expressway's left lane is clogged with old fucks going 55 because the prepaid toll is in that lane... 2 miles ahead. The only good thing the snowbirds do for traffic is give is 5 second yellow lights.

Its opposite for me. When I drive my motor home, I leave a safe distance between me and other vehicles. I find that people always cut me off, get right in front of me and slam on their brakes and shit. I can go 5 miles with my blinker on, wanting to change lanes. Will anyone let me over....not a chance.

OMG, I can only imagine what you go thru in FLA!! I actually avoid certain parts of town all together and tell my daughters to do the same.

I hear you on that one. I am a huge believer in leaving a safe distance between me and the car in front of me. Someone ALWAYS cuts in front of me too. If it makes you feel any better, I'm one of those nice people who would let you move over....my daughters on the other hand, well, let's not go there!

I just hope you aren't anywhere near Sun Lakes. Snowbird central of the US, I swear! (ok maybe just AZ)
