Which city has the worst road rage?

Survey finds Miami worst road rage city.

MIAMI, Florida (AP) -- For the second consecutive year, rude Miami drivers have earned the city the title of worst road rage in a survey released Tuesday.

Miami motorists said they saw other drivers slam on their brakes, run red lights and talk on cell phones, according to AutoVantage, a Connecticut-based automobile membership club offering travel services and roadside assistance.

Other cities near the top of the rude drivers list were New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.

Portland OR is the most peaceful town to drive in. The key word in that sentence is "town".

People there consistently drive below the already absurd speed limits. They're totally out to lunch, no sense of time at all.

I'm sure they do in Miami too. Heck, this even happened in Wash DC.

with DC being on the list.

Last Sunday, parking lot at Lowe's, 9am...

Woman in a MB C-class hatchback, flying through the parking lot at about 35mph, people walking and pushing shopping carts all around. I'm slowly pulling through a parking space to to the empty one in front, so I can just pull straight out as I'm leaving. She slams on her brakes, tires screeching because she thinks I'm pulling out in front of her.

She then speeds off, screaming obscenities at me, while pulling violently on her seatbelt. She has a "JESUS" emblem on her car and one of those "My Child is an Honor Roll Student at..." bumper stickers on her rear bumper.

1)it's a Sunday morning
2)it's a parking lot
3)I wished I'd had an egg to throw at that hosebag's car

That's almost what happened to me in my own school parking lot! . I was slowly backing out of my parking space (and like mostly out), when this woman in a S-class just flies down and honks as if I'm the idiot. If she had hit me, oh man I would have let that woman have it.
