Without any statistics to back it up, if we do indeed get more cars in buildings here I'd guess it was due to topography. Hills mean tight curvy roads while Florida is wide and straight. You're a lot more likely to go off the road when there's a curve and also when there's less road to stop you. This also means our buildings are a lot closer to the road, less parking lots and empty yards to slow down in

I don't really care what YOU'RE referring to, I'm offering up an explanation.

I can just about guarantee that Pittsburgh drivers aren't magically worse at staying between the lines compared to Florida. My explanation is to show how the consequences of going out of your lane are greater here.

You go out of your lane in Florida and it just means you hop a curb into a parking lot, not exactly gonna make the news. You go out of your lane here and it's someone's living room so you see it on the evening news making you think it's more common
