Comments on: Miami Heat: City Tops Road Rage List

For Second-Straight Year, Miami Drivers Earn Low Marks For Courtesy Ahead Of New York And Boston

Road rage is a problem in this country because public transportation is so shoddy, that people have to clog up the highway with their cars. Chicago and the suburbs is a good example, because they keep cutting bus routes due to lack of funding.

This survey means nothing. If you read carefully you'll find that only 25 cities were surveyed. Miami is only the worst of the 25, not the worst in the nation as the headlines would have you believe. Where's Las Vegas, Indianapolis, Nashville, San Antonio, Orlando, Kansas City, and Austin? These cities are bigger than some of the cities on this list. A stupid story based on a flawed survey. Considering all the inattentive and rude drivers out there, I'm just amazed accident rates aren't 10-fold to what they are actually.

I always keep enough space between my car and the one in front of me. What chaps my rear is when a driver thinks that spot is for them and they just squeak in without a notice. They just keep weaving in and out of each lane never really getting anywhere but creating havoc on the road. Also the driver that think they do not have to wait the long lines exiting a freeway because they are too good to get in line with everyone else. They want to go straight up to the top and then try to cut in front of 50 other cars. I must say at that point I do have road rage and I don't let them in.

Why is it that the slow driver in front is a jerk and the one trying to pass is crazy? In fact, I find that when I drive the speed limit on a hiway (always in the slow lane), I have the road to myself. What I find incomprehensible is the way the lights keep ojne from making good progress in the city. It seems that as One light turns green, the one ahead is turning red. Not always, but often enough to cause some consternation. When will the traffic planners see that by timeing the lights to traffic patterns, this practice will make for smotther traffic flow, less frustration, and better gas mileage in the city. Opps. I think I may have hit on it. Do you think that there may be some collusion between the gas companies that those that control traffic? Hmmmm.

let's go back to horses replacing cars(and cows pulling a wagon replacing SUV's) then all we have to clean up is the horse and bull ***.

The ones I love are the slow cars with the bumber sticker that says "I may be slow, but I'm ahead of you!". Thats exactly the problem.. if you were behind me, I wouldn't care how d-amn slow you are!!!

If you are driving at the "posted speed limit" you should not be in the far left lane. This is the 'passing' lane, not the 'cruise' lane. Don't concern yourself with drivers going faster in the left lane - the real police keep an eye on that lane. You need to move over.

I live in Houston, Texas, where you can walk by almost any person on foot and say,"How ya doin?" and get a nice decent response. On the road, that is a different story. Each and every nut out on the streets feel as though he/she owns the road. One time, my friend picked me up from my house and we were just going out to go have a beer. It was our turn at a 4 way stop sign, when we turned right. A guy driving a truck, towards our left, was driving strait, in our direction. He honked his horn for a long moment, and my friend noticed, in his rear-view mirror, the man behind us waiving a gun. My friend imediately picked up his phone and put it to his ear. He didn't call the police, but made it clear to the other guy that that was the intention. The man ended up passing us up without any dispute. We got out of that one. But I hear on the news almost every week, if not every day, some occurance due to road rage. People, take a chill pill. There is absolutely no need to let your anger out on the other driver, and cause havoc on the road.
