Study Says Boston Has Most Aggressive Drivers
- Share via
As millions of Americans take to the roads for the Memorial Day weekend, a survey has found Boston the worst of eight major U.S. cities for aggressive driving.
The survey, commissioned by TheSteelAlliance industry group and the American Automobile Assn., gave Boston an F based on driver surveys that included questions on general safety, rude gestures, speeding and horn honking.
Miami and Washington were close behind with D grades.
Cleveland and Detroit were the only cities to get A grades, while Chicago and Dallas scored B and Los Angeles was rated C.
The study was based on a March-April poll of 1,000 licensed adult drivers nationally and supplemented by interviews with 100 drivers in each of the eight cities.
