Florida freeways have always scared me.  Too fast and too much traffic.

I am in Central Florida Council, and we were discussing this at Cub Scout Day Camp on Monday.  I have been here for 30 years, and amazed at how badly people drive.  Speed limits are non existent; I use my cruise control on the interstate, and at 70 mph I get passed like I am standing still.  Red lights and stop signs are mere suggestions.  We had an ASM pulling the troop trailer on the way to summer camp who had to go off of the road to avoid one of our less than stellar Fla. drivers a few weeks back.

Looking at the pictures of the scout vehicles, it is amazing anyone survived at all.
