CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Tonight’s Florida Man story involves vehicular stupidity:



Most Floridians are used to traveling alongside people on motorcycles. But one motorist couldn’t believe her eyes the other day. While driving on southbound 95 near Jacksonville on Saturday, a woman and her son spotted a man reclining on his bike, steering with his bare feet, looking completely calm and relaxed.

The man wore neither a shirt not a helmet (as per Florida law, helmets are not required for people who carry at least $10,000 in medical insurance coverage).

“I was with my son Joseph and we were baffled when we passed him,” the motorist told the Miami Herald. “I gave him my phone and slowed down a little (probably 50-60 mph) so he could take a video of him riding past. It was crazy.”
