Car and driver stereotypes

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Noticed an interesting article which discusses how different car types are statistically more likely to be involved in dangerous driving and accidents.

BMW, Subaru and Porsche drivers ‘more likely to cause a crash’, study finds

Research found speeding or jumping a red light less likely in a Skoda or Hyundai than in brands sold as ‘performance driving’

www.theguardian.com

Interesting question about if certain cars attract nob heads, or if the car's marketing image encourages poor behaviour.

As an aside, surprised Audi, Mercedes, Seat and Vauxhall aren't implicated. Driven by bad tits imho.

Thoughts?

The holier than thou's, prius/tesla types. One of many rungs on the tory ladder of looking down their noses at others seemingly below them. Ass wipes.

There's a lot of bad Teds who drive BMW 1 series (volkswagen polo basically) who have a very inflated opinion of themselves. Similarly Mercedes A drivers.

Tesla drivers, goid shout. Fireballs waiting to happen.

Tesla drivers are the worst.
Usually can't drive them properly and feel smug about the fact they do drive them.
They are a nightmare on small Welsh roads in the summer, far to big!!

Mercs hands down the most arrogant drivers on our roads followed by those teds driving white vans around.

As a driver of an Electric Mercedes, may I suggest you scruffs hop back in you Viva / Nova / escort and mind your own business.
As you were.

You know you're behind a right plum that needs a lot of space when you see they've slapped M badges all around the back of their 116d.

Of course if you go look at r/upbadging you'll find people slapping M and AMG badges all over any old car for some reason.

BMW and Audi drivers getting a bad rap here.

I'm not a fan of many Toyotas, mostly because they're driven by the local Uber lot and they drive like arseholes.

Has anyone mentioned anyone driving a Honda Jazz being about ninety-four, unable to see over the steering wheel (and 2m beyond bonnet) and doing 10mph?

Doesn't matter what car they own its the tits driving with their hoodie up or wearing a baseball cap......bellends.

My genuine stereotypical response. My hatred is for blonde women in gym bunny outfits with a swarovski crusted i phone drving white audis.

But see also people in range/land rovers who apparently own the roads.

Absolute dangers. You can add Hyundai I20s and VW Up's driven by sane demographic

Tesla and Prius drivers are two completely different groups. The holier than thou types migrated to Tesla a long time ago.

Here it's the kids who spend more on their muscle car than their rent and rev their engines really loud on neighborhood streets at any time of the day or night. And the people who spend $80,000 on a pickup truck that they never haul anything in and try to barrel their way through traffic with their Blue Lives Matter sticker on the back window.
