Try driving in Miami. You'll be raging yourself in no time.
Our roads are full of old people who drive 10 below the limit in the LEFT lane, do not respond to high-beam flashes or even honking. When everyone has to weave around them to go at a decent speed, it not only creates rage but a dangerous situation on the road.
Of course our cops are too busy setting speed traps in 30-mph zones on three-lane-wide roads where the 85th-percentile safe speed is more around 45mph. Our cops do not care about safety, only filling their coffers.
Add to that the fact that anyone with an IQ above 50 can get a driver's license and that everyone here drives according to the rules of his country of origin and you've got a fun situation on your hands.
Oh, and half of the city's roads are currently under construction. I'm not exaggerating. They've been "repairing" 125 blocks of Biscayne Boulevard (a major artery) for the past two years. Why? You'd think, to add a lane to ease congestion! But no! They're doing it to put in a bloody median! "Beautification" has cost millions of people time, money, and stress for a long time.
Oh, and you think they'd be wise enough to change the traffic-light patterns if they're closing down half the road for construction. But that would be too smart.
Incompetence, thy name is Miami.
