I just now noticed that you are from FL. FL has a bicycle death rate that is twice the national average. I suspect what you saw explains it in part. There is something going on down there. I can honestly say I have never seen a cyclist blow through a traffic control device without looking.
I don't think they drive/cycle any different down here, but being the smallest, geography wise, of the 3 largest state populations, with 365 days of cycling weather, I would expect the numbers to be higher....
but maybe they do!
