MIAMI - For the second straight year, rude Miami drivers have earned the city the title of worst road rage in a survey released Tuesday.
Miami motorists said they saw other drivers slam on their brakes, run red lights and talk on cell phones, according to AutoVantage, a Connecticut-based automobile membership club offering travel services and roadside assistance.
Other cities near the top of the rude drivers list were New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.

Things seemed pretty nuts in Jacksonville, too.
At least to this out-of-towner.
“Minneapolis-St. Paul was rated the most courteous city in 2006 but slipped to the middle of the list this year.”
Muslim cabbies at the airport, no doubt.....
Come on Houston!!! You need to do better than this!
We need to break into that top ten if it kills us...
Oops...I got that wrong didn’t I?
Hey yo! This is bogus! Where’s Jersey?
I guess Houston has the handicap that so many people are armed there that being rude in traffic can be a really non-smart thing to do.
I drove from Dallas, TX to Jacksonville, FL twice in less than 2 years. I was ashamed to see that most of the worst drivers I encountered on those trips were driving cars with Texas plates.
They must’ve moved to TX from Miami.
I demand a recount!
A friend of mine once described driving in Houston as training for NASCAR. Especially on the Sam Houston toll road.
Where’s Jersey? Is it really being rude if everyone does it?
Jersey! Why are you picking on Jersey? I learned to drive in Boston and when we moved here I was the rudest driver on the road.
And I was timid by Boston standards.

Courteous- meaning we wont give you the finger, but we will drive 12 mph in the passing lane and wont get over.
And from CA and NY. (personal eye-witness here) :)
It’s all of South Florida, not just Miami.
Real title: Miami holds top spot on rude driver list
I heard this on the radio this morning. Cut a few people off and tailgated just as a point of civic pride. We was robbed. %^)
Needs to be an Olympic Sport...
NASCAR-ATHON...
Drive around Houston on a closed course, then shoot out targets from the car window and race to the finish line...
Heck, if they can do it on skis, they should be able to do it in a Chevy! Or Ford or whatever floats yer boat...
Oh geesh, I opened the favorite car manufacturer debate...
I am so toast now...
Yeh, OK, try driving in Manilla, Philippines.
