Hearing Paralyzed
Florida must be proud: Miami is #1 in road rage! I remember the carefree days of my youth, when my home town of Los Angeles was the acknowledged and undisputed hometown of road rage. It's apparently slipped to #4. Try harder, Los Angelenos!
Also, I don't care what anyone says, the worst place to drive on the freeway is the Washington DC area. People in every area drive badly, but they tend to drive badly in the same way; here in Ohio, for example, it's the whole "turn signals are for suckers" thing. But Washington DC draws people from all over the country -- it is the nation's capital -- and they all bring their local bad driving habits with them. So you never know what you're going to get. It's nerve-wracking as hell.
And now, of course, feel free to tell me why I'm wrong, and your local big city is the worst place to drive. I may be willing to give a pass to Bostonians; otherwise, you're going to have to fight me on this one.

John...quite agree with you on D.C. being a nightmare from hell. Those roundabouts (circles) are hellish...good luck if you are in the inner ring trying to turn...

San Jouquin Valley has hideous ground fog that would cause any driver but a Californian to stop or slow to a walk. But natives plunge in and cause collisions that involve hundreds of cars in the same wreck. Even lemmings are more cautious than that.

Here's how it works John:
Gas prices go up. Dan drives less. And, the end result is that Wisconsin's road rage statistics plummet.
