I'd still be more afraid of the poisonous snakes, alligators and stinging insects.

It's Kissimmee, what do you expect? They fell apart years ago. Just around 3 years ago two of their officers were ambushed and killed. The perp brought bottom-feeder Crump to defend him. The city keeps trying to sell itself off as an "Up Scale Central Florida Community". Nothing could be farther from the truth.

I've only been here since Wednesday, and have almost been in 4 accidents, all from bullshit drivers. GWiz was driving her BRZ when she avoided one of them. Ass clown turning left from a stop sign into a 55 mph main road. GWiz was turning left into the entrance to go to the auto parts store. Lotta shitty drivers in Kissimmee.

If I wasn't so tired, I'd grab the footage off of her dashcam. I bought all 3 of us Thinkware U1000 dashcams about a year ago.

Maybe y'all wouldn't attract them if you weren't so nice to everybody? Seemed like every stoplight while riding my motorcycle someone in a convertible would try to start a conversation with me

You can expect that if you do get in a wreck with them, they'll not have insurance, a DL or a permanent residence. Kissimmee has become the San Diego of Florida, over run with illegals and over stays of visas. Literally all of my friends who lived there, some very long term, have left it over the last two years. It was once a vibrant and hard working cattle town, not unusual to see actual cowboys everywhere. Now they don't even bother to speak English in most of the businesses.

We had stinging insects and rattlesnakes in Colorado. Mountain lions will stalk and kill humans for food, and grizzly bears are nothing to be messed with either. The only thing unique to the SE is alligators, and they leave people alone.

They were trying to tell you that only cars are allowed to be on the sidewalk, and you should drive in the street so you don't get hit.
