This sounds like a very scientific study.

It's certainly not the way I would rank the cities. I would also like to see how this breaks down for city residents v. suburbs. For example, I find Chicago drivers among the rudest in the US (more rude than NYC), but I only get stressed out while there when I'm stuck in traffic IN INDIANA trying to get to the city :hell:

It is pretty bad down here.
Ever driven anywhere in the Carribean or Latin America? It's 10 times worse down there and that's where most of our drivers learned. |
I wonder what is the top city for "clueless drivers"...
....I nominate Colorado Springs. The worst I've ever seen for aggresive and dangerous is Boston, bar none. At least in Miami...they may drive like their hair is on fire, but generally they same to know how to drive at 85mph without colliding.
|
55MPH speed limits, 65 in rural areas and a bunch of laid back pot-smoking citizens...I think Portland's rank is probably right!

I have to say I may agree with the results of this list. Miami people are very agressive, as you have to be with the level of overpopulation and how long it takes to get anywhere. Miami drivers really need to learn where their turn signal is, too.
Other than that, I would definitely put New York right around Miami. After that Boston (from what I hear,) LA, and maybe Balt-Wash and Philadelphia. |
people who disagree with this have never lived or driven in miami. if you have, you would want them to break down the different suburbs of dade county and jsut make them the top 10 of the entire list and then start the rest of the list with new york at #11 and so on.
|
I grew up thinking that it could get no worse than Boston. But in Boston, it's mostly just Bostonians with Boston accents trying to prove how Massholic they can be. From what I hear, Miami drivers are actually to be feared.
|
All this going on down here and yet you will not see a cop giving out tickets or speed traps anywhere.
Cops are non-existent when it comes to nabbing violators. |

Get out of my way!!!! i'm assuming they are lumping the tri county region with Miami since it's all continuous. I think it's the lack of sufficient public transportation that causes people to drive nuts down here. There are over 5 million people living in a metro with multiple city centers (ex. Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Aventura, Hialeah, etc.) and lots of intercity travel with insufficient public transportation. Add to this that many people down here have that "party all the time" attitude (given our location an amenities) and you get craziness on the roads.

Having just returned from S. Florida on business, the drivers you need to worry about the most are the blue hairs with "out of state" licence plates!!!

I live in Salt Lake City and we hear quite often that Utah drivers are among the worst and most rude in the West if not the whole nation. It is even a topic discussed in the local Utah press quite often. There are many theories as to why this is so. Tailgating here is a hobby!
