Does driving under the influence of marijuana cause people to die in car accidents?

Is it me or do people die weekly from car accidents in Orlando?

  • I have actually seen dead bodies on the side of the road after a fatal accident. It was a head on collision hit and run. The motorcyclist was hit head on and the guy/girl that hit him just went about their business. 2 weeks earlier, at the spot on that road, 4 out of 5 people in a passenger car died in one car at the same curve. It was in Kissimmee, near Osceola Parkway. Why are there so many fatal accidents in Orlando, FL? They are right in your face, multiple times per week. Why?

  • Answer:

    Florida is one of the top worse driver states maybe that's why. I use to live there (Kissimmee) and it was insane how many times the road would be closed or delays because of a car accident. One time I saw a dead man who was in a motorcycle that got hit by someone who ran the red light. Sometimes a couple times in a day. I also use to live near New York city and I almost never heard of a car accident only in the outskirts and that was once a week - a few people would get run over here and there. The drivers scored poorly on driving test (making them the worst) but I heard of less accidents compared to Florida. I spent 16 years in the Northeast with out a single accident but the minute I moved to Florida and started dating my boyfriend I realized how bad people drive here. I get scared. I ended up in two accidents. One my boyfriend's fault. I refused to talk to him for a week. " Worst Drivers: Florida absolutely has the worst drivers. As I learned many years ago when I lived near Tampa, you take your life into your own hands when you get on the Florida Interstates. Why are drivers so bad there? It's a combination of elderly retirees (who don't know where the accelerator is), college kids visiting during spring break (who don't know where the brake pedal is), and out-of-state tourists (who don't know where they're going). The roads in Florida are a real zoo, especially in the spring."

For the same reason there are weekly fatal accidents in all large cities: Law of probability. The more traffic you have, the more likely there will be accidents, including fatal ones. Alidawn makes a good point. There are many out of state and out of country drivers in FL. They might not be familar with FL driving laws and are typicaly distracted becaue they are focused on site seeing or looking for their destination. My husband is from MI and I refuse to drive when we visit his family. There are many driving laws that are very different from what I am used to.

I'm sure it has a lot to do with so many people being there all the time (tourists) and those people trying to figure out where they're going, thus paying less attention to what they're doing. However, my dad lives in Florida, and he says that people all over the state are just really bad drivers. I drive some when I visit down there and he told me you NEVER go right away on a green light, you wait for a few seconds, because even after the light turns red there are always another few cars that speed through anyway.
