All right, so I was just returning home like ten minutes ago, and as I was totally ready to turn right into my driveway (from a rather busy street), this stupid girl in a huge SUV randomly stopped and decided to back up to parallel park in the spot that was totally to the right of my car. That meant that she forced to me wait until all the cars are gone by in the lane to the left, make a sharp turn to the left lane, drive in front of her and then finally turn right into my so much already desired driveway. I was mad. Totally! What do I have to do with her stupid driving? Why do I have to be an emotional victim of her carelessness?

And I just started thinking – maybe, this type of weirdest driving, total carelessness and lack of responsibility is due to the hot, sunny San Diego climate? Well, if that’s the case, then the same pattern should be observed in all other hot sunny states, like, for example, Florida. Since I honestly have never been to FL, I decided to learn more information about it from my favorite website, google. On the Florida DMV website, I searched for the Florida Drivers Handbook, and when I started looking through it, I did not really see anything much different than what the CA Handbook has to offer. Well, one difference that I noticed is that the CA book calls the permit (the one before you get the license) the “Driver’s Permit”, and Florida drivers’ handbook calls it Florida “Learners Permit”. Not a big difference at all. I wondered, maybe the Florida driving test is harder to pass? No, the Florida drivers license seems to be as difficult (or easy) to obtain as the CA one. And Florida, too, has the Florida Traffic School and Florida online traffic school, so it is as widely used as in CA. Does that just mean then that lack of more stringent rules creates this crazy driving? I need to look further…
