"Large" is relative, of course. Columbus is the largest city by 
population in Ohio and the 14th largest in the U.S., out of about 
20,000. I'd say it qualifies as large by our standards.

My point was general and comparative - that largER cities seem to have 
more aggressive motorist than smallER cities. I suspect that trend holds 
true even when comparing what you'd call two mid-sized cities.
