Ugh, for REAL!

America's most aggressive drivers live in . . . - msnbc.com

shiwani — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:04:21 GMT

Are New York drivers angry? Yes. Aggerssive? Definitely. But it's really a function of the amount of traffic. You have to drive aggressively if you're going to get from point A to B. In terms of skill, I'd say if you can drive in N.Y., you can drive anywhere in the U.S.

Quoted: New York has overtaken Miami to be voted the U.S. city with the angriest and most aggressive drivers, according to a survey on road rage released on Tuesday.
