Well, I have driven in Boston and NYC and I can honestly say that driving in Miami is far worse, despite the fact that traffic volume in Miami isn't as bad as most major cities....it's the dumbf**k, brainless, reckless, "I'm from another country where driving like a homicidal maniac is tolerated" drivers that make driving in Miami such a displeasure and a major stress.
This is an old post, but I totally agree with him. This definitely goes to Miami. I’ve visited each city listed with the exception of Seattle and having just returned from Miami yesterday, this is an easy one for me. Yes Atlanta and Houston are both major American cities with roughly around the same metro area population as that of greater Miami but there’s a MAJOR difference in the overall temperament of the commuters that I encountered in Miami. Atlanta is a lot more laid back- yes plenty of traffic jams with the occasional “toot-toot” to keep things moving along but Miami was totally different. Way more horn blowing with zero patience; it’s almost constant! I guess everyone’s in a rush to see all that flesh over in South Beach- I know I was! Who knows what it is, but Miami definitely feels more like a traditional east coast city with all the hustle/bustle and a lot less patience. It’s definitely the worst that I’ve experienced personally with the exception of NYC- of course I was on the subway so I can’t really say. I was also pleasantly surprised to see the results of the poll after I voted as well. I knew I wasn’t off base…
