Default Top cities for road rage!

http://articles.news.aol.com/news/ar...00010000000001


1. Miami
2. Phoenix
3. NY
4. LA
5. Boston

The roads are getting to be like the wild wild west!
I am sure we all have experienced road rage at both ends.
Honestly, I am glad I am still alive because I have seen some real nut cases out there!

What? Des Moines isn't on there?

Just kidding, it isn't too bad here. It does surprise me that St. Louis isn't in the top 5. That town is terrible.

I'd be willing to bet that the compiled information is most likely based on surveys of drivers, and on police reports tallied togeather. so if this is the case then the information is subject to minor discrepancies, but usually fairly representative of the nation. Granted, the same estimates would most likely differ in small percentages if the same study was conducted by another team because of alternating factors like the sample population that was surveyed.

^^ The test was all done by survey

"...More than 2,000 adult drivers who regularly commute in 20 major metropolitan areas were asked to rate road rage and rude driving in telephone surveys between January and March. The survey conducted by Prince Market Research has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.2 percentage points"

These people here drive like A$$ !!! I had a clown change lanes right in front of me this morning, no signal. I thought I was going to fudge pack this clown. Doing 75mph down to 55mph -- way less than the posted speed limit of 65mph in the Fast lane.
I see this crap everyday and this was at 4.30am. Traffic going home is much worse

If they made a list of the top 5 cities with the SLOWEST drivers, Pittsburgh would make #1 for sure!

I am not sure about that...my parents live in the Herndon area and yeah the traffic is horrendous and people actually plan their day around the traffic...but seriously i turn on a blinker on and people let me in and were nice!!! Blinkers dont mean Sh$t here...its more like a warning that i am going to cut in front of you!!! Also your cops are aholes up there and i think that makes drivers drive a little better there....here 15 over the speed limit isnt even good enough for the left lane...seriously South FLA drivers suck plus we have all the old people who cant drive...mix that with psycho drivers and you have a deadly mix!!!!

WERE #1 Were #1 woohoooo....so sad!!!
