When I was working on the USS John F. Kennedy (Mayport) in 2003 we used to make jokes that the people there got their driver training at Daytona. If a car was in the right lane and you speed up because your right turn is coming up, they'll speed up too. They hate to give up the lead.I've spent time in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, New York, Texas, etc, and BY FAR the scariest driving experiences I've had are from Florida.
Imagine out of control young male drivers who are always 20+ mph above the speed limit, and then sprinkle in 80+ year old retirees who are constantly 20 UNDER the speed limit. Imagine the chaos.
I-95 in Florida is one of the deadliest highways in the entire country (seriously, look it up).

Also: every other person in Florida had a Nascar number sticker in their window.
Granted my experience in Washington was limited, mostly getting on 520 and going back and forth between downtown Seattle and Bellevue. It was a pleasant commute for the most part.drivers that are more dangerous than Washington drivers? That’s insane. That’s scary. Just suggesting such should be grounds to revoke all drivers license in Florida.
I’m 40. At 16 my uncle let me do landscaping for summer money in Seattle. He had this 1980’s Mitsubishi manual truck. West Seattle. How I learned to master the clutch. He would actually just leave me at clients and tell me to drive back.Granted my experience in Washington was limited, mostly getting on 520 and going back and forth between downtown Seattle and Bellevue.

I5 from pdx to kelso was really bad in recent years. Once seen a woman merging onto i5 while having her back turned and texting.
Pleasant? I think it was the mid 70's the last time I felt that was a pleasant drive.Granted my experience in Washington was limited, mostly getting on 520 and going back and forth between downtown Seattle and Bellevue. It was a pleasant commute for the most part.
West Seattle? What the hell were you doing in West Seattle? Even us that were Seattlites avoided West Seattle. The only thing I remember liking about West Seattle is that it was a great place to see the downtown Seattle skyline.**** West Seattle, **** the bridge to West Seattle, and **** the guy who designed that bridge and the route on and off it. And **** the Seattlite yuppies who make that drive suck so hard, and WADOT for it perpetually being under construction.
PDX to Kelso...yeah, there's a reason I always took Hwy. 30 up thru Columbia County to get there. Might have been slower outside rush hours, but it usually was faster during the rush, better scenery, and far fewer bad drivers trying to kill you.
Comparable to SoCal? yeah it's not that bad. But that was 12 years ago. Not sure what it's like now.Pleasant? I think it was the mid 70's the last time I felt that was a pleasant drive.
Well, I remember when the 520 floating bridge was a toll bridge.Comparable to SoCal? yeah it's not that bad. But that was 12 years ago. Not sure what it's like now.
I do miss some aspects of Seattle (before it go too "liberally").Well, I remember when the 520 floating bridge was a toll bridge.
When I was a teenager (17) and moved back to Seattle from Las Vegas, Nev. I lived on Queen Anne Hill with my grandfather. Then moved to Ballard. After I got married, and I was a poor white boy, we ended up at Cherry Park (South Seattle, Beacon Hill). Back then it was the Rainier Avenue ghetto area, which now has been renamed Martin Luther King Blvd.I do miss some aspects of Seattle (before it go too "liberally").
I used to live in Tower 801 on Pine Street, and "back then", Pine Street was clean compared to a place like LA or SF. Didn't smell like piss when walking down the street, and I would walk after work to Beecher's to get a Turkey Panini, a soda, and I'd sit at Victor park and watch the ferries come and go.
Don't know if that area is nice anymore since ANTIFA took over the city but Seattle had its charm back in the day.
