Survey: Idaho Has Rudest Drivers

They honk, they're impatient, they make rude gestures, they gun their engines. They are the rude drivers, and the highest concentration of them is Idaho, a new poll suggests. Drivers in Idaho, followed by those in Washington, D.C.; and New York make the top three, based on the survey of 2,000 drivers nationwide by a website, Insure.com. Of course, Washington and New York have dense urban environments that make them breeding grounds for rudeness. But Idaho is a fairly laid-back state, home to wide open spaces. Relatively speaking, there aren't many people to be rude to/USA Today. More here.

Question: I'm not sure this survey is correct. I haven't seen many rude drivers in Idaho. Have you?
