Dangerous Roads: Florida

With its sunshine and palm trees, Florida attracts thousands of retirees every year wanting to spend their retirement there. Seniors who have no intention of giving up their driving privileges, despite their impaired senses. In the Sunshine State, there is no age limit on driving and no compulsory test to keep one’s licence. As a result, the elderly community is responsible for 1 out of every 4 fatal accidents.

In Florida, USA, there’s a particular road that drivers dread to use…a highway more dangerous than all others. Interstate 4 has long been plaguing the local police. In 2021, 190 people lost their lives on Interstate 4, one of the deadliest roads in the United States.

In a country where 1 in 4 motorists drive without insurance, hit-and-runs are a major problem. 8  times out of 10, the drivers responsible for the collision try to flee the scene. This is a deep dive into what happens on Interstate 4 – a highway fraught with danger and disaster.
