Yes, I'd imagine its terrible in Tampa too. I remember seeing that Tampa was 2nd only to S FL in road rage. Tampa was also ranked America's 2nd Angriest City in America when Orlando was ranked number 1.

Can everyone remember in their post to say what they voted for and what city they live in?

Not always the case though. I have noticed it is mainly men driving aggressively but it is all ages and ethnicities. I have had balding middle aged men pull out in front of me just like the kids in gangster cars coming out of schools and shopping centers. I have noticed women are much more likely to drive absentmindedly but the men in Orlando are very agressive for the most part. I only voted pretty bad, because it is not every time I get in my car that I experience senseless aggression or absentmided idiocy, but it is common place.

OK, so far it's a whopping 74% for bad/terrible, and 26% for the pretty rare occasion. Wow, I'd like to know where you 26% are (???) ... the panhandle, rural Central FL, where???

I live in Conway, so I drive on Semoran a lot (which is bad) and Conway (not as bad). I work by UCF, so I see a lot of this type of driving around where I work on the east side. The crazy big intersections are the worst. I think people just run them because they are so long if you are forced to sit at one. It is not worth risking your life, but I don't think everyone thinks that far ahead obviously

I don't see much of a problem, and as the original poster guessed, I'm from rural north central Florida (Reddick).

Ok, so far... still right around 73% for bad/terrible and around 27% for rare running of red lights spotted. Seems like we are sticking to the 3 out of 4 are pretty bad/terrible... that's scary...
