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

Tattoo trauma teen to sue parlour
Brussels, june 17
A Belgian teenager said on tuesday that she would sue a tattoo parlour for covering half her face with stars while she was asleep. Kimberley Vlaeminck, 18, was left sporting 56 black stars of various sizes on the left side of her face, from nose to ear and brow to chin. The young housewife said she had gone to the tattoo parlour in the Western town of courtrai and asked for three small stars on her face. She said she also hoped to have her starry appearance reversed by laser treatment, which would cost thousands of euros. Tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz denied that his client had fallen asleep. "she was awake the whole time, I don't use hypnosis or drugs. She agreed to it. The problems started when her father and his friend saw the tattoos," he told the paper. - AFP
