California Drivers Lead US in Road Rage, Study Finds

Golden State motorists lead the nation in cutting people off, tailgating, and exiting their vehicles to fight, a Forbes survey shows. Honk if you knew that.

California drivers have the worst road rage, according to a new study by Forbes.

The study surveyed 10,000 licensed drivers and compared all 50 states in nine categories. Some of the categories included drivers who force other cars off the road, drivers who exit their cars to fight with others, tailgating, and honking—each weighted on a percentage basis to equal a total score of 100.
