miami DRIVING GUIDE
Let's talk about the different ways of getting around the Miami area. You can walk, drive a car, take a bus or train or people mover and even a water taxi. Since Miami is so spread out a car is almost mandantory.The buses run slow and the train only covers a very limited area that most visitors would not have any reason to visit . Therefore, a car in Miami is very necessary. Thankfully car rentals aren't too expensive in Miami. There are a lot of car rental places just east of the Miami Airport that will pick you up. Now about Miami's drivers. Miami has often been rated as having the rudest and most aggresive drivers in the USA. I think that is an over statement but I do have to admit that it's just a little bit true. Miami drivers just love to change lanes. (That is especially true of Mini Cooper drivers.) If you drive carefully in Miami and pay attention to the road ahead then you can navigate around this town safely. Please do slow down if it starts to rain. Try and keep more space between you and the car ahead of you when the roads are wet. Now about road rage. Sometimes stressed out drivers can and do react like fools and do stupid things on our highways. Road rage can break out at any time in any big city, so don't buy into the drama If you run into an angry driver. Just to be safe, ignore rude drivers. Just go about your business and you'll be fine. Here's a DRIVING TIP for you. Do not drive slowly in the left lane on the expressways known as the "112" Airport", "836 Dolphin"or the " 826 Palmetto" or "I-95". In this town the left lane is known as "The High Speed Lane." Most Miami drivers almost always exceed the speed limit and will tail gate you if you drive slowly in the fast lane. Here is another IMPORTANT TIP Always follow the "Three Second Miami Red Light Rule." When your signal light turns green count to about three before you move. Red light running is out of control here so be very careful. Of course the best way to enjoy Miami without the hassles of driving is to use our "Private Guide Service," and let us drive you around the city. But in any case please do drive safely and enjoy your time in Miami. Seat belts save lives and there is a slogan here in Miami, "Click It Or Ticket," so buckle up.
