Miami tops 'road rage' list

CNN: Miami tops 'road rage' list

For the second consecutive year, rude Miami drivers have earned the city the title of worst road rage in a survey released today. 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.

Not only it gives Miami a great image but it is also true. There are way too many drivers running red lights. I see at least one a day in my commute. There are plenty of immigrants and foreign tourists that apparently never bothered to read the rules of the road. Plenty of retirees driving slow on the left. Plenty of women talking on the phone while driving and making a turn without looking, cutting you off without a second thought.

Realizing you are going to miss your highway exit and cutting across three lanes to turn at the last minute? Yep. That happens often. And don't get me started on the smokers that think the street is their private garbage bin and throw their cigarettes out the window without even thinking.
