On its second year, Miami once again tops the chart of the Top Rude Drivers List. on this list, you would find Los Angeles and Boston also ranking high. Too bad - the rude Miami driver has the taken the state again to a worse reputation. The report was completed as part of a survey done with motorists as respondents. The completed report was released last Tuesday.
Motorists clearly informed that in Miami, some drivers are violently slamming their Chevy EBC brakes. Some even disclosed observing Miami drivers running the redlight and using their mobile phones while driving. This was according to an automobile membership club located at the Connecticut, the AutoVantage, that offers travel services and curb assistance.
Cities like Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Boston and New York also joins the list where rude drivers are located. According to Erik Pinto, a resident of Miami, he had seen several motorists doing their bad habits on Miami’s road. "You don't want to know what I've seen. I've seen everything. I'm from L.A., and we don't see the crazy drivers that you see here,” according to the resident.
Both St. Louis and Portland, Ore., drivers are not noted to be abusive on the road according to the survey. But Minneapolis-St. Paul was the only noted city in the US to be the most courteous city in 2006.
The usual cause of rage in the survey is impatient motorists. But mostly are drivers who have poor skills in driving in a fast lane. However, there are also those whose rudeness come from driving while stressed, angry and frustrated.
"The best piece of advice is to take a deep breath. Slow down, be aware and be careful," Todd Smith from the AutoVantage said. This is maybe the best advice the spokesman will tell.
