Yeah I wasn't saying you were complaining. I guess I didn't articulate my message very clearly. The point I was trying to make is that the drivers in Springfield are not that bad compared to bigger cities. Birmingham/Montgomery have just been consistently very bad for me. Florida is a very unique hot mess... Unfortunately lived down there for a while.

In Florida it's a mix of crowded roads from tourists and old people, neither of which ever seemed to know what the hell they were doing.. The real accident shenanigans always came on party holidays and obviously spring break/summer.

Florida is certainly bad too. Lived there for a while. Some of the worst driving I've ever seen tho is driving thru Montgomery and Birmingham. Been very consistent over the years driving between here and Florida.

Just crazy reckless aggressive driving, like one pickup tearing down the grass beside the road and weaving back into traffic wherever he wanted. So many close calls and having to drive so defensively. I've learned to time my drives to avoid rush hour.

I just see people here complain about our drivers, but they're not particularly bad, as far as cities go. Some cities are particularly bad, but I think size is a big factor. Springfield can be frustrating, but it doesn't have big city crazy traffic.
