I'm surprised to see a city go from being among the most courteous to being among the most rage-prone. That makes me question these lists.

I don't see how Miami could have been number one in 2008 then suddenly is off the list in 2009? Road Rage seems just as bad as ever..

Yikes lol I'm sorry j/k

I live in Ft worth


In fort worth we drive around 55 to 60 mph

in Dallas they drive 65 on a slow day and anything above 70+ 99% of the time.

If you drive the speedlimit in Dallas you get ran over lol


In Fort worth if you have a flat a cop will stop and help you change it lol

In Dallas they will stop and B!tch at you for being in the way and if you are in a accident and you call they MAY show up but only to gripe if you are not injuried....and ask why you didnt exchange info and be on your way hahahaha.


Dallas Drivers drive 2 speeds FAST and FASTER

You will get ran off the road in Dallas if you are driving the speedlimit and there is no such thing as courtesy as to letting someone over in your lane.

I can see how DFW made this list lol

They just talked about this on a radio station out here and if i remember correctly miami dropped to number 7. What really surprised me was that LA wasnt even in the top 10. And Sacramento being courteous? I am originally from Sacramento and people arent that courteous there. This survey is complete BS

I drove through texas one time and I thought people there were pretty courteous. I drove from waco to amarillo and then to San Diego and everytime I drove up on a slow driver they would always pull off to the side of the road to let me pass. I probably passed over 2 dozen cars/trucks that way. I traveled on mostly 2 lane highways. I never seen anyone anywhere do that before. I thought that was pretty cool

Well, I wouldn't put any faith in this anyways. Especially since there is no measurement system for rage. So how do they come up with this info?

It is actually nice driving in Pittsburgh.
Despite the PA state flower(orange construction barrel) that blooms all year round now.

Baltimore went from the least courteous in 08 to the most courteous in 09? Thats quite the change.

EDIT: never mind, i see a few cities on that list made the jump one way or another. weird...
