ROM-DOS Posted May 17, 2006 CID Share Posted May 17, 2006 New Road Rage survey just released; Miami drivers speed, tailgate and cut off other drivers so frequently that they have earned the city the title of having the worst road rage in the country. Phoenix, New York, Los Angeles and Boston were next in the top five cities for rude driving. Minneapolis, Nashville, St. Louis, Seattle and Atlanta were rated as the cities with the most courteous drivers, who were less likely to change lanes without signaling or swear at other motorists. Drivers owned up to some rude behavior themselves: Nearly all said they had talked on a cell phone while driving, and 64 percent acknowledged they occasionally drive too fast. Young drivers and people with long commutes were found to be the most likely to react to an aggressive or rude driver. The top reactions included honking the horn, cursing or making an obscene gesture. No distinct differences were found between male and female drivers.

resopalrabotnick Posted May 17, 2006 CID Share Posted May 17, 2006 i have commited road rage. some punk on a scooter cut me off. so i flpped on my high beams and let my ford explorer get no further than a few feet off his ass for a few minutes. he tried slowing down and speeding up, to no avail. then he tried to pas the car in front. luckily there was too much traffic to allow his escape. when he tured off the route i was following anyway he got away. had he fallen i wouldn'r have been able to start braking before...

EWO Posted May 17, 2006 CID Share Posted May 17, 2006 I'm with you on the high beams. Follow real close - never trusted my reaction time or the breaks/tires on the vehicle. I guess that's some road rage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
