"Driving is not fun in Florida."
From this story I'd say being a pedestrian is worse.
The cities around the Tampa Bay area are consistently ranked in the top 10 U.S. cities as the most dangerous to pedestrians. Lots of 6 lane roads without pedestrian crossings and 93 year old drivers that react to road conditions 2 block after they pass them, providing they register in their thoughts at all. Don't forget that St. Peteresburg is God's waiting room and the seniors get up at the crack of dawn, down 20 prescriptions and then get behind the wheel.
