Thats what you get for living in Florida.
 
Terrible drivers.

Tons of old people.

And always hearing ambulances/fire trucks/police because there's always accidents and old people are always dying.

Oh and.. disgusting hot weather.

Hessah 03-09-2009 02:21 AM

Sydney's got the bad drivers too~

A_Forever 03-09-2009 02:23 AM

We'll sit at red lights and get honked at.

Srsly, wtf? What if those people were at the front of the line? Would they seriously move out into the intersection? >___>

I miss Michigan. Nicer drivers... things are calm, well unless its winter.

Hessah 03-09-2009 02:26 AM

We've got people like.. swerve into your lane without indicating... blocking your drive way... blocking an intersection.. going at 40kmh at a 70k zone =.=

A_Forever 03-09-2009 02:28 AM

We have all that too :D

Old people swerve, cut you off, go uber slow and yeahh

Young kids.. well.. they speed, cut you off at high speeds and.. its just plain scary.

I don't know kms >_>

Hessah 03-09-2009 02:31 AM

Yeah I don't know the miles conversion too.. but it doesnt really matter.. the point is... they go way below the speed limit =.=

but i've never actually been anywhere where i thought "hey the traffic of this city is great!"

I may have to pay a visit to michigan to know wat "good traffic" means...

cillia 03-09-2009 02:32 AM

In Michigan, when you come to a 4 way stop everyone is like, "No you go." "No you.." "No you.."

I mean, you don't hear them say it, they just signal with their hands, obviously.

Hessah 03-09-2009 02:36 AM

LOL! That sounds... so different! We sometimes get people NOT giving way at roundables =.=

A_Forever 03-09-2009 02:40 AM

Yeah.

Plus, Michigan has one of the longer and harder Driver's ED classes and tests.

They make sure the person can actually drive LOOL

Hessah 03-09-2009 02:44 AM

Is Driver's ED something you do at school? Or you can learn to drive whenever you want?

I think it helps when the people in the city is more.. laid back?

Sydney is becoming more and more like a rush city... no one gives a damn about anyone else anymore.. you push and shove on the train and yeah its not very nice...

A_Forever 03-09-2009 02:46 AM

Driver's ED? You've never heard about it?

In Michigan, there's like 2-3 different sessions of Driver's ED. It teaches you about driving.. like how to drive xDD You have to pay for it.

The school district I was going to in Michigan no longer had their own Driver's ED course. So my brothers had to go to the mall so they could take their sessions at Sears.

Hessah 03-09-2009 02:53 AM

Ohh ok.. I've heard some of you talk about it.. but it sounds like something you do at school...

coz for us we do it at the RTA (Government's Road and Traffic Authorities) it has nothing to do with the school..

can do it whenever we want... even when we're 30, 40, 50....

A_Forever 03-09-2009 02:56 AM

You can do this one whenever too. Well.. from 14 and 9months+ xDD

At least I think thats what it is in Michigan. You can't get your Driver's license till like 16/17 and even then its restricted(Can't be out driving at certain hours without an adult or something)

You get your permit before your license. Permit means an adult 21+ must be in the front seat.

Hessah 03-09-2009 03:05 AM

Ohh about the same then.. I think your permit is the same as our "learners" license... you have to drive for like 200 hours with a full license person.. then you can take the test...

then u get into 2 stages of provisional license over 3 years i think... recently we've got a new law where P1 drivers (first year) cannot drive with more than 1 passenger from xx hrs to xx hrs (i cant remember wat the hrs are.. probably 10pm-5am or something)

A_Forever 03-09-2009 03:07 AM

We sometimes call it a learners too.

I think my brothers had to drive with a licensed driver for like 500hrs o_o

Maybe 300.

It was pretty high though. Our mom just said they did. (They're good drivers, dun worry xDD)

Hazu 03-09-2009 03:09 AM

In oklahoma you get permit at 15 1/2 + and can only take drivers ed at that age. And my school has it but its half a semester with a coach as the teacher. (Country school lol)
The scariest driving ive ever seen is in Oklahoma. Nearly get ran into constantly Dallas and Alanta werent as bad as Tulsa.. I hate cities and I hate driving. ;3
At 16you can get your lic. Though its supposidly a lil restricted.. lots of ~country kids~ so ifyou're driving safe people dont think twice about you driving at certain times of night and such. Or how many people are in your vehicle. plus the cops around here fail. :3

Psh.

Boston beats you all at terrible drivers. If you're not going at least 10 mph within 3 seconds of the light turning green, you get raped by the horns of the people behind you. x.x

Hazu 03-09-2009 12:35 PM

o-o; lol...... if you do that here you'll get hit by some idiot running a red light. Especially since alot of the stop lights are at the bottom of hills....
T-T the other day I had to run a red light cause it turned red to fast and going down a hill at 50... >:c stupid hills.

Kure_Neko_Chan 03-09-2009 02:57 PM
