NEW YORK — Take a back seat Miami, New York City has taken the title as the U.S. city with the worst road rage.

A survey released Tuesday shows the Big Apple was tops among 25 metropolitan areas when it came to surly drivers.

Miami had led the list since 2006. New York was third last year.

The 4th annual survey was conducted by AutoVantage — a Connecticut-based automobile membership club offering travel services and roadside assistance.

The survey defined road rage as drivers who lose their tempers and those who like to cut into lanes, tailgate, speed and honk.

More than 2,500 people were interviewed.

The survey found Portland, Ore., the most courteous city, followed by Cleveland and Baltimore. Dallas/Fort Worth and Detroit followed New York as cities with the worst road rage.
