DC Ranks Fifth For Road Rage
“Maybe people should just relax, not take life so seriously”
It takes four people to control the traffic at 14th and New York Avenue, NW. And it's not much better at 14th and H. "It's road rage, road rage," Traffic Control Operator Preston Cato says. via WUSA9.com Washington, DC

What do DC government officials expect when they do nothing to improve the infrastructure of this city and region. Speeding and red light cameras improse fines on motorists for minor infractions, but when pedestrians walking across the street (sometimes not even in a crosswalk) blocking traffic that has a green light, they face no consequences. Rather than exploring the possibility of tearing down the Whitehurst Freeway, they should be drawing plans to transform 16th Street into an expressway that swings southeast to connect with the 295 entrance at New York Ave. An expressway running east to west wouldn't hurt either.

I've been to ruder places (NYC, Atlanta, Miami). But if anything, I day the DC area has more idiots behind the wheel than anything.
Common Sense Rules of the Road: - When the light is Green, YOU GO!! - When there is an accident, YOU DON'T STOP TO LOOK!! - When you are driving, QUIT YAPPING ON THE CELL PHONES! - If you are in the fast lane, YOU SHOULD BE GOING FASTER, NOT DRIVING MISS DAISY!! - When you switch lanes, USE YOUR SIGNALS AND IN A TIMELY MANNER In my opinion, the ones with this so Called "Road Rage" are the one with common sense in this region. It's the idiots that are ticking the good drivers off and causing this road rage. Please read my above tips and take them to heart. I promise they will wise you up a lil' bit. |

Let me guess...NY is Number 1. I hate driving in NY. However, DC/MD & VA can be just as crazy. Alot of rude folks on the road.
