I've had a young man run the stop sign at Maxwell and Davis, T-bone my truck and roll it over. Luckily I landed on my head and for some reason I'm always OK when I land on my head, Ha! Then a young lady rear ends me when I stopped for a ambulance coming out of West Fla. Hospital. Then a woman runs a yield sign on Intendencia and "C" St. She hit me so hard my truck rolled over twice! I was still OK, hard head and using a seat belt. It is dangerous out there these days, good thing their making cars safer 'cause some drivers are just plain idiots. I had no accidents for over 35 years but that all changed the last decade or so.

Sir, I am with you. Furthermore, I think every driver who has committed a traffic infraction should be locked up and the key thrown away....perhaps have their drivers license revoked permanently. That'll show them. Those dang slow drivers, you have to outrun them when you are merging, and they mess up the flow of traffic. And when they drive slow into a dangerous traffic situation, they exponentially make the matter worse because of their speed. Maybe that is why they blow their horns a lot. Darn...Maybe I should have been a "driving instructor" too. @ Driving Instructor. Sir, I am with you.

The three roads I travel most on are filled with speeders without a clue. Community Drive speed limit is 35. I follow the speed limit and the speeders start piling up behind me. When Pine Forest High lets out it even gets worse. I can pull out onto Community with no other vehicle in sight. Many times I see someone pull out several blocks behind me. I am traveling the speed limit. They catch me within a couple blocks and tailgate me to try and get me to speed. I have often said that they think the speed limit is how fast they have to go to get on my rear bumper. Bellview Road is 25 MPH. It has speedbumps. Some people get airborne hitting the speedbumps so fast. Denver Avenue is 25MPH. Speeders pass me at unlawful speeds almost daily.

I advise locals to learn how to make a left turn at an intersection and stay in the slow lane if they're not keeping the pace. I say round up the slow drivers and lock em up and throw away the key.

I witnessed a lady make a left turn from the far right lane, across two lines of cars going north on Alcaniz in front of the Civic Center and T-bone a pickup truck driving South on Alcaniz. I was in the third lane from the right and had just said to my wife, Can you believe that maneuver when she hit the truck. Fortunately no injuries but it ripped the entire front of her car off.

Mostly local, with a few out of state runs. The antics I see are terrifying. People texting while driving in heavy traffic, people texting while driving on the interstate, people tailgating just to name a few. I see so many people running red lights, I can’t count them all. Does anyone remember what a turn signal is for? The problem in Pensacola is there is no traffic law enforcement. County and State show up to write tickets after the wreck. A traffic division would support itself from the tickets and fines written. I drive for a living. Mostly local, with a few out of state runs. The antics I see are terrifying.

And stop just thinking of yourself and think of those around you and please, just slow down and drive the actual speed limit. @AKEuP You got that right!!
