Florida Speed Limits....
I must have been asleep when driving around FL.
Apart from the odd flash rain storm, most of the time I was in FL it was warm and sunny and bone dry.
And the journey to a friends house over in Orange County (from Jax) was mind-bogglingly s-l-o-w.
4 lanes each way and almost everyone was driving at 30-40mph on a nice warm sunny afternoon.
It wasn't busy and on an identical type road over here I'd be doing 70mph minimum.
The slowness was actually making me feel tired and sleepy and that ain't good for a driver - that's what causes accidents just as much as speeding does.
NC was different though.
The weather was more like the British weather - damp, cloudy, depressing, not a lot of sunshine.
Even so, Ed (our Vet friend) says he doesn't see any roads near him that allow more than 55mph and he himself has never in his life ever driven at more than 40mph.
I know that because the OH asked him this morning (UK time) when they were chatting on Yahoo since my earlier posts.
you can tell those stories as many times as you like, I just showed you the ACTUAL LAWS regarding it in the state you mentioned
I live in Missouri, st Louis population of the metro area around 3 million, except during rush hours EVERYONE drives around 65 MPH, any one doing 40 MPH during non rush hour times will get honked at and flipped off
I have been reading your posts, in one you state you are on benefits, without more info I assume you mean like social security or some form of disability. in another post you mention driving 120 MPH. it must be nice to be on "benefits" and be able to afford a car that can sustain 120 mph.
I find glaring holes in your posts when strung together to form a more clear picture overall
in one post you argue you can hunt even though you are NOT RICH, and IMPY you are kinda POOR, then in another post you tell us how you drive a car that can sustain 120 MPH, which would seem to be a prettttty expensive car. and considering the prive of gas in the uk, you must not be as POOR as you tried to make it sound
Actually, most cars here of more than 1000CC are able to sustain 120mph with ease.
And, if you had read the earlier post more carefully, I stated that when I was driving over that bridge, regularly, at 120mph+ I was returning home from work - so I was working at that time.
You aren't paying attention!
Even now, we have a KIA Cee'd CRD 3 and yes, even that diesel-powered car is more than capable of 120mph and that's a car provided by Motability. And yes, we are on disability benefits.
And yes, by most people's standards, these days we are poor and probably below the average US breadline.
But, yes, *IF* I wanted to go hunting and decided to get a license to do so, I can.
Your income has nothing whatsoever to do with the granting of a gun license.
You can spout the law as much as you like.
People we speak with regularly don't see what you obviously see and they also don't drive as fast you say everyone does. I certainly didn't see people driving that fast either - they were all driving like old grannies.
And yes, I was there - I lived there for 5 months with his family and *I* didn't notice any roads over 55mph while I was there.
I don't give a shit if they exist - I didn't notice them.
The same in Jax and Tampa, FL. I just didn't see any roads above 55mph.
Where I was in Tampa (actually, Newport Richey), most of the roads around there were 40mph.
