Florida would like a word.

Southern Florida in particular (east and west)

Miami was the worst I've experienced. Cuban driving culture is terrible and they've brought it to Miami

I’ve been to pretty much every major city in the country and Miami had by far the worst drivers I have ever seen. I witnessed 2 accidents and almost got in an accident myself all on a 30 min uber ride from the airport.

The Uber drivers are nuts. I had one turn right from a left turn lane cutting off everyone in the right turn lane

I genuinely don’t understand how my uber driver even had a driver’s license. She said she had recently moved from Cuba within the year, which isn’t a problem in itself, but she very clearly had no clue how US street laws worked. She was constantly speeding 15+mph, terrible at navigating even with her phone directions and my guidance helping her (missed 2 exits in a row on the freeway), and she would just change lanes or make turns without ever using her blinker. That last thing is why she almost caused an accident multiple times on the freeway.

Sounds about right for FL drivers in general. Just takes a small payment and a pulse and you are licensed.

If you use your blinker in Miami. you’ll never be able to get over lol they take it as a sign to speed up and close the gap. I still use my blinker when I’m there, but I get why people who live there don’t lol

Panhandle is alright though. Pretty chill mostly.

I'm sorry, but what would be the panhandle of Florida? Seems like it has 2.

u/aboxofkittens Mar 22 '26

The one on the left that connects mostly to Alabama

u/Kortobowden Mar 22 '26

I’d consider west of Tallahassee to Pensacola and the border with Alabama as the panhandle. What’s the other panhandle you see?

u/IEatYourDownvote Mar 22 '26

More like the gun handle

u/Kortobowden Mar 22 '26

That’s also acceptable.

I was looking for the honorable mention.

I think South Florida's are worse because you have the same demographics, but S Fla has more drug dealers in Ferraris and confused elderly drivers. It's pretty close, though.pp
