So I'm pulling up to a red light. There's an old Nissan pickup truck stopped in front of me. It's slightly uphill. I stopped about 6 feet behind the pickup truck. A car stopped behind me. The light turns green. Now all of a sudden the pickup truck starts rolling backwards. Must be a stick shift. I see that he's picking up speed and I don't have enough time to get out of the way. I get on the horn and finally the guy seems to wake up and peels out with about two feet of room left.
So, here in Florida, you have to watch for not just the guy behind you but also the guy in front of you. In a way I'm kind of glad that most intersections here are flat and that stick shifts are not very common anymore.
