No. 1 Miami
Spending too much time checking their hair in the rearview mirror? These Floridians ranked near the top for their good looks, fashion savvy, and cocktail scene. But all that eye candy can get distracting. Locals didn?t impress voters with their street smarts: Miami ranked as the city with the worst drivers.

:clapping:We're #1!
I think Boston has worse drivers. My older brother said it's the only city he's ever been in (he lived there 35+ years) where the drivers behind you honk at you if you don't run a red light-and I ain't talkin' a 'right turn on red after stop,' I mean a straight-ahead red.
In defense of Miami's ^&%$$#!!* drivers, being deserving of the recognition, today I was in a 15 mph morning school zone and a young male driver in a blue Civic behind me wanted to get somewhere else in a hurry. He was behind me at a 6-lane red light. When the light turned green, he tried to whip-around me onto the shoulder and power past driving down the swale, in-front of the school! When I refused to get out of his way, he tried to swerve around me to the left, but traffic next to me kept him from doing that, so he went-around them too, totally out-of-control, just a danger to all the other road users. Unfortunately, because it was after the time when students would have been crossing, even-though it was a 15 mph zone, there were no police present. The guy went screaming by me finally, to my left, like he was in the World Drifting Championships and then had to scream profanities out the window to make-sure we all knew he 'meant business.' He then did his best to break 60 mph before he finally left the 15 mph school zone. Too-bad there was no LEO present to give him multiple citations. Anyone who drives like that probably has other moving violations outstanding, and a record of careless or reckless driving. Hope he is removed from traffic before he kills a bunch of kids trying to get to school.
