Wow, that is informative! I can just see the truck load of good ol' boys weaving down the road approaching me from behind. It is certainly enough to give one pause. My sister lives in Sarasota near 41 and I have experienced the bizarre and dangerous FL driver in his native surroundings. Yes, this is a fearful and wonderful thought. My last question in response would be if it might be safer to ride in the early morning daylight hours? Here you can ride almost anywhere at 0600 and you have the road to yourself.
