In Florida you have tourists who don't know where there going, old people that drive so slow because they don't know where there at , and foreign people that can't read the signs. When you add it all together you get road rage.
A place where people drive Lincoln and Buicks. That's what old people like to drive. I admit that I love the town car. A lot of old people don't know how to drive and there's a lot of them in Florida who drive them.
I have driven in both, and while Utahans like their speed, they generally are polite. Florida can't get up to speed in most areas due to the congestion, and I remember reading a study that Floridians are the quickest to honk their horn at stoplights. Utahans rarely honk, and if they do, it usually is to warn you of an impending collision. Which is what the horn was meant for.
A lot of the Utah road rage is in people from other places flying into SLC, renting a car or an RV and heading off to one of the national parks.
That may add to it, but over all Utah drivers are impatient and crazy and speed, but not in the good way of speeding, they like to tail gate. My theory (after living many years in SLC) is that they take their lifestyle frustrations out behind the wheel.

....Florida is pretty much proportionate with a third of the states in terms of age. So much for that stereotype...
