BMW jerks deserve to be shamed. :P
This claim is disputed.
- christophilus 6y agoIt would be interesting to see stats on aggressive driving by brand. My guess is that BMW drivers would be well near the most aggressive on the list.

- prtkgpt 6y agoThis claim is also disputed lol.
- joncrane 6y agoYou know the old joke: what's the most depressing (least fulfilling) job? Installing turn signals in a BMW factory.
- speedgoose 6y agoSuch a study exists for Finland : https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ijop.12642 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ijop.12642 You may find the full article on some Russian mirror website. I don't know whether HN allows us to name it.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoThere was something similar in the UK. The upshot was be careful if you are crossing the road when a BMW is nearby.

- throwaway0a5e 6y agoThe results almost certainly vary by region (because regional traffic, weather and economic conditions impact who buys what). Measuring aggressiveness is going to be a measurement of outliers. For everyone weaving through traffic in their BMW without turn signals there's a gray hair putting along. For every Tacoma clogging up the left lane there's a Prius taxi hauling ass to the next fare. I don't think it's a very informative thing to try to measure.
