Road Rage-less City?

Tuesday June 16, 2009

This might come as a surprise for those of you who just got into work after battling through traffic on 695.

Affinion Group, a national marketing and consulting company, has just released a survey that listed Baltimore as having the third most pleasant drivers in the country. Only Portland, Oregon, and Cleveland were said to have more courteous drivers.

On the flip side, New York (surprise, surprise) came in first (or last). Dallas/Fort Worth was the second worst road rage city, followed by Detroit, Atlanta and Minneapolis/St. Paul.

I have to admit, I'm a bit surprised to see Baltimore on the calm side of the list. What do you think?
