Miami is on a streak! For the past three years, Miami has been recognized as the city with the rudest drivers. The article suggests that the convergence of two generations, the retirees and the young, is a main cause for this distinguished honor.
I think it has a lot more to do with the high percentage of immigrants. Miami has over 60% foreign-born residents, making it one of the largest cities in the country with this high a percentage. As anyone who has traveled to Central or South America will recognize, traffic signals, lane markings, and such seem to have little impact on drivers.
My daughter, however, has a yet another explanation for the statistic: it has been exactly three years since we moved to Miami!
Umn… sometimes it is difficult for me to keep my cool when driving.
Jim, it is great to find your blog. I hope all is well in Miami.
Grace and peace,

Hi Rex,
Good to hear from you. May God’s shalom fill our lives — and cars!
