I started going over that bridge in 1970 when I was going to school in Tampa. We used to call it the Howard Franklin Stein Bridge LOL one time in a very very heavy Florida Thunder shower my windshield wipers broke as I was going over the bridge and I had to roll the window down in keep looking out to see where the heck I was going. It was really a mess.

I have no idea how many times I drove over the Bay Bridges over the years because I had a sales route over on the Coast.

I left Central Florida 15 years ago and will be quite happy to never drive an automobile anywhere in that area again.

I had windshield wipers stop working once. Luckily my little brother was riding with me so I had him reach out and work the wipers manually. He got soaked but I could see!

Florida traffic in general is problematic. If I moved to Florida it would be in the northern/panhandle area.
