WTF! - Welcome to Florida!
Outsiders hit I-4, I-95, or I-275 in Florida thinking it’s just another highway.
Ten seconds later their soul leaves their body and starts floating above the traffic like this.

Someone’s doing 95 in the left lane, someone else is doing 50 while texting in the middle, and a rental car with out-of-state plates just merged across four lanes because their exit appeared three feet ago.
Turn signals?
A rare Florida wildlife sighting.
Construction cones?
Permanent residents.
And somehow there’s always a tourist braking to take a photo of a palm tree.
Meanwhile every Florida driver is completely calm, sipping gas station coffee, dodging potholes, thunderstorms, and the occasional alligator crossing like they’ve been training for it their whole life.

It’s a Florida driving survival test.
