NEW YORKERS TOP RATED RAGE LEAGUE

New York, June 17
New yorkers are American's angriest drivers, according to a survey published on Tuesday. The fourth annual Road Rage Survey by Auto Vantage, a national auto club, saw New York jump from third to top in the angry league. Following the Big Apple were Dallas Fort Worth Detroit, Atlanta and Minneapolis / saint paul. The calmest drivers cruise the laid- back roads of Portland, Oregon. The survey classifies road rage as drivers who overreact, drive aggressively speed, cut into lanes, tailgate and honk Horns. But Auto Vantage also delves into the motivations for road rage. Common triggers are the sight of other drivers making obscene gestures, talking on mobile phones, or multi -tasking' behind the wheel, including shaving, the survey found. The study questioned 2,518 people across the country. - AFP
