- THE FHP likes to do those 'cool U-Turns', I've seen it a few times in my
- short life in Florida (8 weeks now). THE FHP is the worst next to the CHP.
- nd I am thinking that the FHP is worse almost, in California, you can't make
- U-Turns like that, there is this little thing called a center divider.

- Heh, I'll see what help I can get you... You sound sort of screwed, as long as
- the point doesn't get on your DL, don't worry about it, just pay the fine.
- OR better yet, call Florida and ask if you can take a traffic school
- class in Hawaii (a Hawaii Approved one) and mail florida the copy of
- the sheet that says you took the class.
