MIAMI -- Miami has the most angry drivers, according to a new survey that also lists Phoenix, New York, Los Angeles and Boston among the top five cities for speeding, tailgating and cutting off other drivers.
The automobile membership club AutoVantage says the most courteous drivers are in Minneapolis, Nashville, St. Louis, Seattle and Atlanta.
The telephone survey included more than 2,000 adult commuters in 20 major cities.
Drivers also admitted some of their own etiquette breaches: nearly all acknowledge yakking on the cell phone and nearly two in three admit sometimes driving too fast.
A spokeswoman for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says "human behavior is so involved" in all types of crashes.
AutoVantage suggests drivers try to stay calm and avoid eye contact with angry drivers.
