- capableweb 5y agoIn my person experience, the "drunk drivers", "road ragers", "habitual speeders" groups seems to be over-represented in expensive cars rather than cheaper cars. Poor people cannot afford to crash their car while rich people can.
- paxys 5y agoData released by the DOL and insurance companies does not match with your personal experience. There's a reason 18 year olds driving shitty cars pay through their nose for liability coverage.
- huubuub 5y agoI do not think a car crash is normally the result of a decision people make based on whether they can afford it or not.
- aeternum 5y agoKeep in mind that this study could just mean that people in expensive cars with higher incomes are less likely to be arrested/stopped by police.
- lelandfe 5y agoHmm.. The underlying studies (Baum, 2000; Eensoo et al., 2005) that found links between socioeconomic status and DUI/DWI did so by comparing those arrested against a control group – which I believe should deal with that concern?
