ORLANDO, Fla. – If you’ve spent any time on Central Florida roads, you are probably in agreement with Orlando’s new ranking.

According to GasBuddy, Orlando is one of the top 10 cities in the U.S. for the most aggressive drivers, coming in at No. 7. 

Orlando has traffic problems which can contribute to frustrated drivers that becoming aggressive. 

But don’t feel bad Orlandoans, there’s two other Florida cities on the list with Miami-Fort Lauderdale coming in at No. 17 and Tampa-St. Petersburg at No. 19.
