When I was in Florida last winter, I remember the television stations talking about a multi-fatality crash on I-75 near Gainesville. Can't remember if it was north or south.
The thing which stuck in my mind was the statistics they showed - and over the previous 10 years almost 1/2 of the total interstate/ tollroad fatalaties in the state occured between Ocala and Lake City on I-75.
Spent most of January and first week of February near Daytona. Didn't see I-95 as signicantly worse than any stretch of interstate in Florida, or any other state. We've been in 46 different onese in the past five years.
But like almost all interstates, the number of vehicles is more every year it seems. The people go faster. That's my perception. I have not factual data to back it up.
Maybe part of that perception is that I'm getting older and don't react as well as I did even four years ago when in was in that area at the same time of year.
Though in 2015, I didn't have hearing aids and had not had cataract surgery. In 2019 I definitely feel that I hear more and see more than four years earlier.
All interstates, all highways, are potentially dangerous. And I'm less tolerant of change and what I see as stupid behavior ten years ago. Not sure if that is because more young people are stupid, or that I'm older and fed up.
