A Cuban resident of Miami has shared his frustration with the city's impatient and inconsiderate drivers in a viral TikTok video. The video, posted by @loboalfa.1 and titled "Miami and its drivers," captures the man's daily struggles while working as a delivery driver.
In the video, the Cuban man states, "Every day we have to deal with this. Those of us who work on the street and have to make deliveries encounter people in a hurry, those who don't want to wait in line, and those who always try to cut ahead. This is fine for me because I need to get the merchandise delivered as quickly as possible. However, I still wait in line. But it really bothers me when people do this. The further ahead they can get, the better for them. I don't know what their excuse is. If you're new here, have a fresh license, and just moved to Miami, don't do it. Wait in line."
The video quickly garnered thousands of views and comments, sparking a lively debate on TikTok. Many users shared their opinions about the traffic conditions in the City of the Sun. Comments included, "That's exactly how it is... unfortunately, you just have to be patient," "It seems like they're rushing to an important meeting, but they're really just going home," "That's why I don't like Miami," and "It's not just Miami, it's everywhere. Literally."
