Wrong Way: School Bus Joyride Ends with Florida Woman in Handcuffs
We’ve got a wild Florida Woman story today! This girl is a true road rebel! Meet Leah Laplaca, she’s taking the concept of a joyride to a whole new level. Look out, Fast and Furious, because she’s cruising down the highway in a bright yellow school bus!
What’s the big deal, you ask? Well, here’s where it gets spicy. According to Fox 35, Leah wasn’t just driving any old bus. It was unregistered. No license plate, no nothing!
Our daring diva was pulled over by a vigilant deputy who must’ve thought, “That bus looks suspiciously un-busy.” And guess what? It was! No license plate in sight, just Leah Laplaca and her dreams of being the coolest school bus driver in town.
School Bus Busted:
Now, Leah might not have had her driver’s license, but she did have a valid Florida ID card. You know, for those moments when you want to identify yourself but not actually drive legally. Her driver’s license took a permanent vacation after she ignored a few too many traffic tickets. Classic Leah move.
Leah told the deputies she didn’t know her license was suspended, and then in a masterstroke of storytelling, she claimed she was in Florida to fix her license. She’s taking the school bus industry by storm, one law at a time.
And in case you were wondering, this wasn’t even a Marion County school bus. Leah had her sights set on something bigger, something bolder. She wanted the unregistered school bus experience, and by golly, she got it!
So, where is our modern-day Bonnie (without Clyde) now? Leah Laplaca is enjoying the hospitality of the Marion County Jail with a bond of $1,500. It looks like her dreams of becoming the queen of school buses will have to wait. But hey, at least she’s got a captive audience now!
More Than Half Of Florida Drivers Fail The Driving Test On Their First Try
So it’s official. Florida has some terrible drivers. Let’s be honest. Miami, Naples, and Orlando might be the trifecta of terrible drivers. I mean, I’ve seen some questionable driving in my day, but these cities take it to a whole new level. In Miami, it’s like every driver thinks they’re filming the next installment of the Fast and Furious franchise.
And don’t even get me started on Naples. It’s like a retirement community on wheels. Everyone driving at a snail’s pace and refusing to use their turn signals. And as for Orlando, well, let’s just say that there’s some Goofy Drivers there. How did they ever pass their diving test?
It comes as no surprise that according data from KyrosAML.com, Florida ranks in at number four with a pass rate of only 47.1%. That’s right folks, more than half of Florida drivers fail their driving test on the first try.
Florida Drivers:
Now, I know what you’re thinking, “But Florida is the land of retirees and snowbirds, surely their driving test can’t be that hard?” Well, let me tell you, Florida driving tests are no joke.
For starters, you have to be prepared to navigate through a sea of golf carts and oversized SUVs, all while dodging the occasional gator that decides to cross the road.
And let’s not forget about the mandatory parallel parking portion of the test. Sure, parallel parking is a common driving maneuver, but have you ever tried doing it with a line of angry Floridians honking at you? It’s like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube while being pelted with oranges.
Passing your driving test can be a daunting task, especially if you live in one of these states with a low pass rate. Here’s a rundown of the 10 most challenging states to pass your driving test in the US:
