riceburner1 All-Star Author Tampa Posts:688 Points:55,835 Joined:Sep 2005	Message Posted: Aug 13, 2011 8:54:41 AM Ignore riceburner1 Report Abuse I live in TAMPA ( actually Riverview, but its only a spot ) where everyone are transplants from other states ( mostly the north ) !! Well no one drives the speed limit and no one knows how to use their directional signals when changing lanes or turning.. Its so sad !! FYI This area has more Motorcycle per Capa than any other area in the US. And we have at least 1 story a day of motorcycle death due to cars making left turns in the path of motorcycles !! Also Sad !! We have also seen a increase of people rear ending Motorcycle stopped at stop signs and red lights !! Really Really Sad !! Be careful when you are on Vacation and beware of motorcycle around you !! The life you save maybe mine !!

The speed limit in this area will return to 60 MPH once the construction is complete, and this segment of the highway is roughly 4 miles from my home. The 70 MPH segments are about 6 miles from my home.

At night, though, there is so much wildlife on the road (elk, mule deer, etc) you wouldn't DARE go more than about 85 maybe 90 kph max. Unless you can see around corners, and have the reflexes of a 19 year old.
