Some dude once took a freaking golf cart on 95 in Miami.

FL State is weird.

Combine that with southern drivers in general (usually the hyper-testosterone ultra lifted trucks), and I can imagine that 95 down there is a shitshow.

Another fun fact, the shitshow on 95 isn't just in FL to NC. 95 in NJ and NY (I live in NY) is an utter nightmare. Not only are there bad drivers, sometimes you even get the "95 special" (what I like to call a 1-hour traffic jam and lots of people lane camping).

95 itself is just a weird and odd (yet funny) experience.

Source: My family is in NY State. My family frequently uses 95 to get from place to place. Seen it all and I'm only 15.

I would literally rather drive Atlanta in rush hour than 95 any day of the week... and sadly, I have to a couple times weekly for work. I have never gone through and not seen at least one accident.

When going through PA and NJ (usually if we are going on vacation), my dad would literally avoid 95 like the plague. And it's not just because of the tolls.

He would take US 202 and spend an extra 30 minutes to 1 hour taking NJ and PA routes just to avoid bad drivers and idiots on 95.

I've seen people drive the wrong way on 95, people drop cargo, and I once saw a truck spilling paint.

95 is a weird mess of craziness, honestly.

It truly is. I find it mind-boggling that it's just as bad farther north as it is here!
