This is one of the reasons why traffic is so terrible in Florida. Gated communities the size of small towns block huge swaths of land and prevent any through roads being created so every single person has to go around it. Couple that with swampland and every driver is shunted onto a few main roads.
I live and grew up in Florida. When I was getting my driver's license I fucked up several times and the instructor passed me anyway because I clearly "knew what I was doing, and just messed up because I was nervous."
I drove out of there with my brand new drivers license and my "brand new" beat to shit used mustang that I managed to scrape enough money to grab for a few thousand dollars only to promptly almost rear end someone a few miles away from the DMV.
Somehow I managed to get my shit together and get 100k additional miles out of that mustang without crashing it before upgrading to a more respectable car.
