Trans Am Still

Don't know about Idaho, but from what I remember of driving in Texas when I lived there I think you just have you just have the bad drivers who are not really rude. Now I am surprised Florida is not in the red as we have the combination of rude and bad drivers.

 

I never noticed a problem with Texas drivers. New York / New Jersey drivers are fast, aggressive and rude but I can at least follow the logic of how they are trying to move. They drive with a purpose.

Florida has the worst drivers. If they don't want to wait, they will look at you and just pull out right in front of you. They change lanes like butterflies and no one uses a turn signal for anything. More than once, I have seen Florida drivers get into a conflict, both trying to merge into the same line, same time, both no turn signal. Then they start angrily dueling for the lane as they go down the road at 75mph. Similar behavior in Georgia.

 

A fee for insufficient funds. The credit union will get Pilot their money and then charge me $30 for overdraft. I'm hoping we can fight that since without the fraudulent charges I wouldn't bounce the account. And like you said, we do have a fraud report on file now

 

And Florida does have bad drivers lmao. Got ticked at a guy one day and was about to throw down Mario Kart style. You don't mess with people in crappy cars because there's a good chance we couldn't care less if it blows up and aren't afraid to tear your Beemer up in the process.

 

Texas is where I learned how to get a good mix of defensive and offensive driving when going around San Antonio's 410 and downtown area. And what you are describing is why I am surprised that Florida wasn't higher on the list but you forgot that most Florida drivers DO NOT know they are supposed to yeld when getting on interstate and then merge into traffic at 45mph, I have lost count on how many accidents that I have seen because of that.

 

I learned my city driving in Seoul, Korea, so all the places here seem kind of tame. Worst places here are.... pick a big city and I mean big. Boston, Dallas, NYC, etc, they all suck. I think that's where they did their surveys. Country folk be more laidback and friendlier.

 

I drive in Seoul a lot now and it is crazy but when I go to Manila for a while Seoul seems laid back haha. Tokyo is also crazy and they drive on the wrong side of the road

 

I did not drive in Seoul but in a few smaller cities. I did see a driver in Andong, Korea knock a kid down on a bike, maybe 11 year old kid was crossing with the light on his bike, driver pushed through the light, thankful did see the kid in time not to kill him, but the kid went down HARD. With the kid on the ground writhing in pain, driver got out and started yelling and scolding him. Rest of traffic did not slow down, just cranked their heads as they flew by.

I have driven in a lot of Asian cities. Hanoi, Vietnam has been the craziest to me. Like most Asian cities, sidewalks are for motorbikes, not pedestrians. They turn them into motorbike highways in Hanoi.

 

honeybadger, could your hubby wire you some money until you can get back home? WalMart has their own version of Western Union and you can send money from one WalMart store to another. It is even a little less expensive than Western Union I think.

Number Two Daughter has had the flu since her birthday. I have been doing my best to get her well and to keep both girls from being exposed to that horrible virus that is making so many kids sick. ....So, guess who is now sick? I have been trying to remember to take my own advice.....but it is so much easier to give advice than to take it!

 

Thats why as soon as 1 kid in my house gets sick I start taking EmergenC. When I don't I usually do get what ever it is.
