Wow - not one Canadian city in the top 25.   :D

I personally think they're all the same, even here in Canada.  I realize I am getting older and I wouldn't say that I am an "angel" behind the wheel but I am a lot more aware and courteous than when I was younger.  I see people roll through stop signs, barely slowing down and the right turn on red where you are supposed to stop, may as well be a green arrow as no ones even slows down anymore.

I recall being 20 something and cruising through my subdivision faster than I should have and some lady, a mother of small children, shaking her fist at me and yelling for me to slow down.  I have turned into that person as I see the people on my tree lined street doing 80km/h in a 40km/h zone and I get furious.  I guess that would be called "lawn rage" or "porch rage".  What irks me the most is that the folks driving that fast through the residential area are the parents of the young children that cannot play on the street because of driver's like them (and me when I was younger).

It's gotten to the point where my Wife and I are looking for another home whether it be on a cul-de-sac in town or a piece of property just on the outskirts of town where the house can be set back from the road.

Wow! Chicago only #7  I went to a wrestling tournament in Oak Park last weekend 55 North of I80  294 and 290 were parking lots.  If I had to drive that every day I would kill someone.

Boston should be higher.

Around here, signaling is like giving information to the enemy.

As Dice would say, "F*ck em, should've been there."

Here in New Mexico, "drafting" is the in thing.  If you are going the same speed as the rest of traffic but leave a cushion between you and the car in front, everyone gets on your a$$.  They are not happy unless you are also 1 foot away from the car in front of you.  Then people whine about why there are so many rearend accidents here.

Drafting is huge here in the southern part of the U.S. Most of these fools think they're kin to some Nascar driver.

Gotta agree with that.... it's a daily adventure on 495 & 3 every day, and I'm only going to Andover.... Boston is even worse! Can't believe they aren't #1.... :o
