AutoVantage, a Connecticut auto-travel club, compiled a list of the worst road-rage cities after surveying 2,040 drivers in 20 major metropolitan areas.

"'They don't put on their signals when they switch lanes, they tailgate, they run red lights, they don't pay attention to what they're doing,' Charlene Laswell of south Phoenix said as she ticked off her list of driving complaints."
