Miami drivers have the most road rage and Portland, Ore., motorists the least, according to the AutoVantage auto club. AutoVantage’s second annual Driver’s Seat Road Rage Survey involved 2,521 respondents in 25 cities.
Miami won its dubious honor for the second year, followed by New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. Portland’s drivers were judged the most polite, followed by Pittsburgh, Seattle/Tacoma, Wash., St. Louis and Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas.
The AutoVantage survey defines road rage very broadly, including not only angry or upset drivers, including out-of-control drivers and drivers who lose their temper; but also aggressive or merely bad driving, including carelessness and rudeness, cutting into lanes, cutting people off, tailgating, speeding and honking.
