Default Re: The South Florida Code (really funny)

OK, he's right on most of it...been here 57 years and that means before I-95...in fact the only way you could get down here was on Henry Flaglers TRAIN or drive on US1

the exceptions are where he mentions locations (except south beach & the southern end of I-95) he's not talking about SOUTH Florida...the real southeast florida is Miami and the Florida Keys and in fact KEY WEST considers itself a different country (thats COUNTRY, not county)...most of what he talks about is Broward and Palm Beach County (hollywood, ft. lauderdale, west palm beach, etc)

In miami before CASTRO (1959-1960) the RICH SUBURB called Coral Gables had STOP SIGNS just like YOU have but added just below the word STOP was the word ALTO written a little smaller...that very formal SPANISH for stop or halt...we had a good size population of RICH SPANIARDS living here...

a couple of years ago i went to a "Battle of the Bands", local Rock and Roll groups, it was hosted by Jim Barry, a nationally known humor writer, and he said...

How can you say South Florida has bad drivers, why all the drivers from the 58 countries that are represented here ALWAYS obey the traffic laws.........................the traffic laws of their own home countries...Haiti has the worse drivers in the GALAXY...

There is a road near me which is a 4 lane divided with lots of enterence streets coming into it, the speed limit is 45 mph, just a little futher west it becomes a 6 lane divided with limited access roads connecting to it and the speed limit drops to 40 mph, explain that...

Here when drivers hear emergency sirens they don't pull over...they think the sides of the road are for police and fire vehicles...

OLD DRIVERS ALWAYS GO IN THE FAST LANE at least 20 mph BELOW the speed limit...

this can go on and on and on...

OH !
