The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

Found on road, Dade

A group called Prince Market Research — do they survey like it's 1999? — has determined that the worst road rage in the country is in Miami, and has been for the past three years.

Boston, New York, Baltimore and Washington followed; the least rage was to be found in Pittsburgh.

What's the deal with Miami, anyway?

The primary factor that we see year after year is that the Miami area is a combustible mix of two cultures on the road, and that is retirees out on a long leisurely drive, and young professionals on their way to work.

Which suggests that things will eventually improve in south Florida, once the geezers perish and the yuppies are outsourced to Bangalore.

As an Okie who just moved to South Florida, you have no idea what it's like to drive down here. Geebus --- the old people are a nightmare.

Going to the grocery store in a area high in retirees is like going to war.
