Angry Cities with the worst drivers

what U.S. city in your oppinion has the most ridiculous drives you could ever imagine??

i was in downtown kansas city several years back, and it was crazy! some truck dumped some stray scrap metal from their load in the middle of I-70 under an overpass. no driver let us switch lanes, so we had to drive right into it... never had a worse traffic situation ever. we also got off the interstate onto a major 4 lane road, we had to get in the right lane for the gas station, and nobody let us through, so we had to turn left into a store parking lot, go out by the light, turn around, and then try it again. after waiting 3 minutes for a turn, we finnaly were able to go to the gas station.

KC has not changed one iota. Absolutely the 2nd worst place I've ever had to drive. Most of Massachusetts and especially Boston is at the top of the list. NYC is nowhere near as bad as either of these places.

In KC they love to stay in your blind spot on the highway. If you speed up or slow down to get them in your mirror the move with you to stay in the same spot. Tailgating is awful too. People driving 10 to 15 mph in the passing lanes on the highway is common. No signal lights most of the time. People cut in front of you without even looking or using their signal light. Garbage all over the roads in most of MO but especially near KC.

Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

If you want worse, go to the Philippines... No lines to separate lanes and they all drive like taxi drivers.

i think it's a tie between Atlanta and Miami, i mean seriously have the traffic in both of these cities is because of bad drivers and not accidents.

Chicagoland area is horrid. People doing 45 mph in 20 mph school zones, tailgating so close you couldnt slip a piece of paper between your bumper and theirs, doing 100+ mph on the freeways, horn abuse, no turn signal usage, road rage, etc, etc, etc. This might also constitute as road rage, but not a single day goes by where I dont feel like ripping someone out of their car and making them eat a few knuckle sandwiches. The people here drive like the crap they were born out of. Despicable!!

but i know what you mean about chicago steve. i was in a traffic jam several years ago on I-80 i think. it was a complete mess. we were stuck for about 2 hours. and we were just trying to get to denver! if we went around it, we wouldve been out of illinois by the time we got to Joliet.

Boston has pretty bad drivers, but they don't get much practice and the pedestrians, bikers are even worse. So I guess you can't fault 'em that much.

Worst drivers I've encountered were definatly in Miami. Its more like they don't KNOW how to correctly drive, rather than just sucking. Terrible drivers!

I second Miami- that city is full of ignorant, reckless drivers. That place is a mess on the freeways!

Texas drivers are very fast. California drivers are fast. Drivers in the northeast move at the speed of light.

I found Chicago drivers to be very fast drivers and they love to use their horns!

I live in Denver- I think that the drivers here are rude and aggressive, but it's not as bad as alot of the other cities on this list.
