Absolutely. I really cannot agree that New York is the capital of road rage. Drivers there don't have the time to invest in proper rage. Rather, you see a lot of convenience venting on other drivers, but not rage. Honking, one finger salutes, well timed epithets, these are not rage. Deliberately hitting someone else's car, following them for miles out of your way, getting out of the vehicle to confront the other driver, anything involving weapons.... these are actions of road rage. I drive in NYC on a regular basis, and have never had confrontations there like in other parts of the country. Same holds true for Boston. Inconsiderate, impatient, opportunistic, all hold true for those cities, but for real maniacal rage, I think you need to move further inland....
