You aren't the only ones to have them just a different season.
We instead of calling them summer tourists we call them summer terrorists. They are from southern states and states to the west of us.
Living in northern Minnesota along the shore of Lake Superior the speed limit is 50 along the the lake shore and they drive 10 and in some cases 20 mph slower. It's not like there aren't rest areas to pull into to enjoy the view of the lake they have to drive and gawk.

I guarantee I've been guilty of that, so I try really hard to not piss off the locals when I'm on road trips in beautiful areas.

They may be annoying at times but they are a big part of our economy in the summer. So it's worth the inconvenience.

100% agree. We welcome seasonal visitors, the only annoying part is the slow driving. And honestly, winter visitors are much better drivers than our locals...again, just slow. Holy cow do we have some bad drivers down here.

We're old, can't see as well as we used to, our reaction time on the tree ain't as good as it used to be. Some of us don't know when to hit the pedal before the light turns green. Lol. I'm enjoying winter in the Florida panhandle and I do feel bad sometimes for the locals, having to put up with us. I try to stay in the right hand lane when I'm looking for a a restaurant or something that's new to do. I'm not in a hurry to do anything anymore and I love it and I worked hard to get here. I hope you all get a chance to enjoy the good life when you retire.

Definitely no disrespect intended with this thread! It's just been something I've wondered for a long time. I know a lot of drivers can be hot-headed and rude, but I look at it this way: if someone is driving safely, but slowly, there's nothing to be upset about at all.
