OR take a look at Central Florida drivers...

Last year my folks came over to see me (I am ex-pat) and the two pieces of
advise I gave my Dad was...

      1) Green _does not_ mean go, it means proceed with _EXTREME_ caution
         because around here..

      2) Red does not mean stop.

The reason (I beleive) is that unless you are involved in an accident, you WILL
NOT get anything worse than a speeding ticket. I mean, for crying out loud it's
an offence (in most states) to drive without a seatbelt on (the one part of the
car that's specific role is to save your butt in a wreck) yet, if you aren't
wearing it, the cop can't stop you.

So in the end everyone's insurance goes up, I pay $1100 for 6 months on two cars
for bare minimum insurance.
