A study analyzing the driving behaviors and habits of several major metropolitan areas concluded that Miami, Fla., has the least courteous drivers in the country, while Portland, Ore., has the most courteous. The study, "In the Driver's Seat: Road Rage Survey," was commissioned for the second year in a row by AutoVantage, a national auto club.
Miami, which also topped the least-courteous list in 2006, was followed this year by New York, Boston, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., respectively. Meanwhile, Phoenix, which ranked second in rudeness in 2006, was left off the 2007 list.
The list of cities with the least amount of road-rage issues saw much more movement, however. Following Portland in driving politeness was Pittsburgh, Seattle/Tacoma, St. Louis, and Dallas/Ft. Worth, respectively. Only St. Louis and Seattle/Tacoma appeared on 2006′s list, too.
