Tailgating and cutting people off is a way of life down here. And signaling is a sign of weakness.

I have found other drivers to be quite nice whenever I'm driving one of these:

Whoever put Atlanta in the nice drivers category, did NOT drive here, period. When someone lets you in at a merge they invariably have out of state tags.

It's not really fair to classify Seattle drivers as polite because, in reality, on the freeway you're actually parked in the grid lock

I don't see Pittsburgh on the list, but...be aware it's very risky to drive around these parts. And Gawd help you if you're a pedestrian.

Some years after it was introduced elsewhere, Pittsburgh adopted the concept of right turns on red. Almost immediately, signs went up at various intersections saying, "No Turn on Red." Drivers just couldn't adapt to the notion that you are supposed to STOP, look around, watch out for pedestrians, and then when it's clear, make your turn.

Oh and most drivers here believe the right turn can be made from anywhere, even from three lanes over to the left.

The majority of Phoenix drivers are ex-LA drivers, ex-Chicago drivers, ex-Minnesota drivers, etc.

How about the rankings for the lame driver list (which is also quite often one in the same as the FOB driver list!). The SF Metro would have to top that list!

From a similar story on Drudge:

The survey found that half of the drivers in Miami will have the experience of having a parking place stolen from them.

Here's someone who knows a little about "parking space rage" in Florida......

Hard to believe that New Mexicans didn't take first place.
