During our vacation the last 2 weeks, we went to Clearwater for 2 days so we drove from Orlando on Sunday 8/18 and returned the evening of 8/20.
After driving 2600 miles round trip from Rochester NY, this roundtrip on I-4 was by far the most dangerous and worst driving.
The amount of aggressive driving, high speed passing (90+ mph) and number of accidents was astounding. People driving slowly in the left lane led to high speed lane weaving. Sudden slowdowns and rubberbanding were common and without warning.
Slow traffic in Tampa at the I-275 junction has always been common. We were able to plan an alternate route and used it to avoid slow I-275 through Tampa. But no good alternate routes from Orlando to Tampa.
Drive safely if you take any side trips in this direction!
