How Indianapolis did not make this list, I'll never know. But, I have driven in Miami, LA, and Chicago, and I'm not at all surprised.

Minneapolis/St. Paul was #1 on the nicest drivers list in 2006, I wonder what happened? Oh wait, it might have something to do with every major highway in the seven county metro area being closed, having reduced lanes, detoured, or in a severely f*cked condition.

^ Me too. We have our share of road rage, but generally drivers are pretty tame compared to big cities. That's one benefit of living near a city that was originally built for 1/2 million, but only has 300,000 living here.

I read that it dropped to #12. I think Portland is #1 for courteous drivers. Those little stoners.

Here's a CNN article on this:

Miami - I believe it.

When I'm driving down here and someone ticks me off, I never honk my horn or flip them off for fear of being shot. No kidding. And there are hit and runs here almost every day. Driving is very scary here.

I swore I'd never drive in Miami again... and I mean it!

I think it just moved up on the list of mean drivers after this post.

Perhaps you're right. You'd lose your sunny civil demeanor too if you had to put up with all this crap!

Hahaha. I can't believe this

Dallas has to be the worse drivers I have ever encountered...

Whereas OKC has the most polite, but lead-footed drivers you'll ever see.
