Every single day there is an accident on 75 from Venice to Bradenton. So many $&&! reckless speeding tailgating impaired dangerous irresponsible idiots driving. Where is law enforcement pulling these dipshits over fining suspending and jailing them. It goes a long way to curtailing accidents! I fucking have to ruin my day AGAIN driving around this fucking mess! ! I don’t care what you all think! If the ones involved would have used their heads for more than a hat rack it would never have happened! Drive responsibly! Stop fucking speeding and reckless driving and leave earlier if you think you have to speed and endanger other innocent people and yourselves!
