My work is 4 miles away but takes me almost 30 minutes to drive there. I take 2 major streets (Gandy and Dale Mabry). Both are 45 MPH. Nobody does 45. If you get to 40 then its a good day. What pisses me off is when you get some idiot that feels the need to do 30. In the left lane, no less. Given the timing of the lights and the normally heavy semi truck traffic, your best bet is to just stay behind said idiot because he will probably turn right soon. Also, quite a few intersections down here have dedicated right hand turn lanes where you don't have to wait for turning traffic before turning right. People will sit there with NO traffic, waiting for the light to turn green before turning. It aggravates the crap out of me...You should see the looks I get because I have Nebraska plates on both my Mustang and F150. I'm just some "dumb farm kid" from Nebraska (not true in any sense). Hopefully soon I will have FL plates.... I can finally take the front plates off (yessssss)!My .02</blockquote>
