They're knockin' on the door as it is, what do they care? And then we have a large influx of foreign tourists. We get bad drivers from all over the world here! And, if that's not enough, it seems that nobody on the highway has ever seen precipitation before, because as soon as it starts raining, it's like a race to see who can slow down to 35mph and turn on their flashers. Oh that bugs me! If you want to turn on your flashers so bad, pull over! Not to mention it's actually illegal here in FL!

OK, rant off, back to topic.
Yup, I lived in FT Lauderdale when it was voted the most dangerous city for pedestrian traffic.
