Here's my side of the story: Newman doesn't claim that profits come before people. Predictably, he cites no hard data for that claim. This is because no such claim was ever made. There's a time to keep silent and a time to speak. There's a time to love and a time to hate. There's a time for war and a time for peace. And, I avouch, there's a time to institute change on the roads of South Florida.

Or, to put it less poetically, knowledge and wisdom aren't Rock's enemies. He understands that by not limiting education and enlightenment, he can't fool more people into believing that honor counts for nothing. Sadly, those with the least drivers education are those who would benefit most from the knowledge that he has, on a number of occasions, expressed a desire to not capitalize on our needs and vulnerabilities to keep the highway and byways safe from verminous verisimilitudes.

They don't want to hear that Newman thinks we want them to bring about a wonderland of, in his own words, "reggaeton / ghetto" gangsterism. Excuse me, but maybe if he believes that his peuplade is looking out for our interests, then it's obvious why he thinks that it is his moral imperative to reinforce the impression that pathetic heresiarchs—as opposed to his own jackals—are striving to revive the ruinous excess of a bygone era to bounce and blow amidst the "maniacal driving habits" of the present era.

I guess I just have a burr under my saddle from not seeing his minions enslave us, suppress our freedom, regiment our lives, confiscate our property, and dictate our values. The freedom to drive religiously must remain unencumbered by our First Amendment rights to flee from the dictates of a tyrannical republic, as I'm certain that Rock and the "heavy tourist presence [...] from Latin America" would attest to.

Drive safely.

I want the last 30 seconds of my life back I just wasted.

Put it this way, I found it so bad down there that I had to leave. I was tired of popping a Xanax every day just to calm myself down because of the stress of dealing with the many brainless, overly aggressive idiots down there.

Didn't you hear, it's the Culture

Florida Grapples With Its Deadly Hit-and-Run Car Culture - TIME

The article mentions every major city of Florida (not just Miami).

That is amazing especially since Tampa and Jacksonville are so different from Miami you may as well be in a different state . as one who travels often to the North East I have noticed that in Connecticut , Rhode Island and Massachusetts the police and state troopers are much more "on the ball " then their counterparts in Florida ... I have driven stretches of
I-75 , I-95 and the Turn Pike in Florida where I did not see a cop or trooper for miles . I wonder if the large amount of transients and flat terrain have anything to do with it ?

You cannot blame third world driving habits as many seem to do on this forum ( myself included !! ) ... as they immigrants are relative minorities in Tampa and Jacksonville maybe since no civics are taught in Florida schools .. anyhow this is a terrible distinction for Florida to carry .

That's true, but not NEARLY as many, especially in Jax. I do think there are still bad accidents and those cities are very unfriendly to pedestrians though too. But I think when it comes to the article, and the talk of "hit n runs" that's where the article starts to talk specifically about Miami. All major FL cities are in the article and unfriendly to pedestrians, but if you read the article, when talking about how bad hit n runs are, it specifically talks about S FL. Not that there arent hit n runs in Tampa and Jax too, but I think far less. Orlando is bad for hit n runs too. But again, not as bad as S FL and Miami.

S Cal has a bad hit and run problem. Evidently knowing it means being immediately deported is incentive enough to flee the scene.
