Chicagoist is one of those proud, transit-taking people who don't own a car. For the slight inconvenience of not being able to go where we want at all times, we avoid road rage, trying to find parking, the eternal driver vs. bicyclist debate, and being rammed by inattentive motorists. Friday, an Arlington Heights woman was awarded $4.1 million as a result of being hit by a man who blew a red light. The reason? He was lost and trying to look for directions on his BlackBerry. more ›

We’re guilty and now we know everyone else is, too. A national survey of licensed drivers over 18 revealed that shockingly 9 out of 10 drivers belt out tunes while driving.

LAist has so much fun this week! They go to E3, where they overhear the timeless remark "Man, this is where nerdy girls get laid." Is that a promise?

That's right, Mapquest says "Houston had the... more ›

Last week was yet another stressful week for poor Antonio Davis. On Thursday, his wife Kendra was charged with battery stemming from an October "road rage" incident in Naperville in which she allegedly flug hot coffee at another motorist. Just as the hype surrounding her United Center bruhaha started to die down this comes to light! Did Antonio know about that run-in?

What is up with Chicagoans purposefully running over pedestrians lately? We read yesterday that a little girl died after she was hit by a car that was allegedly deliberately driven into her and four older females she was with. In another incident, a man drove his minivan up a sidewalk and ran over a 14-year-old boy repeatedly. Prosecuters say that the man did it in retribution for an altercation involving his sister. These reports scare the crap out of Chicagoist, who doesn't have a car and spends most of our time walking. We ask that you please do not take your rage out on the road! more ›
