Miami, FL - Post Report Question and Answers

For the most part, traffic accidents are the most worrisome part of living here. Moreso than any other place I have lived in the US, I think drivers here are atrocious. I believe this is mostly due to them coming from Latin America or the Caribbean where you don't have to follow regulations, so they come to the US and apply that same mindset to traffic systems that they refuse to learn. It can be chaotic, and I feel like these drivers don't even care about their own lives when they get into a car. I have seen several traffic fatalities on the side of the road. The sanctity of life disappears when Miamians get into their cars. Otherwise, feel safer in Miami than other places. This is the fraud and scam capital of the US, but less so petty crimes of opportunities. - Jun 2026

Typical for a U.S. city, of course depending on the area you live. - Mar 2008
