I think I was marked as a potential road rager even with my high scores for courte sy and safety because I said that if someone gave me the finger I said I would probably flick one back at them.

I am a safe, curteous, aggressive driver with a 50% chance of road rage -- that's a motley assortment of traits!

LOL I'm Safer, more agressive and more likely to road rage than the average driver, but the safety is obscenely over the average.

Yeah thats about right, I'm not nice too don't tolerate idiots who shouldn't have their lisence in the first place and it keeps me out of accidents, even if I get frustrated some times.

Good Find

I was pretty happy with my results, safe, passive (on barely) and calm. But I think the ultimate test will be to have my wife take it based on how she thinks I drive and compare. We seem to differ on that issue, especialy durring the morning commute to work.

I have serious misgivings about the reported results of these surveys. I found that many of the questions are misleading...confusing at best. Very poorly worded. The results will most likely me skewed if the questions force participants to answer questions with double negatives.
I "almost never" don't tailgate.
I "sometimes" don't tailgate.
I "almost always" don't tailgate.

There are better ways to ask questions than this.

I would not be surprised if Miami ranks as #1 in road rage incidents.
