4. It's bad on the roads in South Florida.

Every day I see someone who has no break lights. There are people driving with body parts hanging off of the sides of their cars. Many people have no insurance at all. You have to buy uninsured motorist protection because the state is too damn lazy to go after these folks. My wife and I were living in Boston about 10 years ago. I went to buy auto insurance and asked about uninsured motorist protection and the agent looked at me like I had two heads. Vehicle inspections are a pain, but getting in a wreck because someone was driving and unsafe vehicle is way worse. We used to have inspections for emissions and basic safety features, but good ol' Jeb came along and did away with all that. Now you can cut the catalytic converter off an old car and it's unlikely you will get caught.
