I don’t know about any actual data, but out on the road, in the wild, my wife and I comment on “BMW” drivers for their driving styles.
We comment on the pony cars for their loud exhausts, but for lane changes, darting through traffic, blowing stop signs, “Yup, it’s a BMW”.
And it’s funny because we have a cat (a couple actually), and cats are notorious for getting under feet.
We were walking to the bedroom, with one of our cats, and things were getting crowded in the corner when our orange cat raced up. You could see him stop, paw at the other cat to move aside, dove into the gap to rush in front of us at which point he came to a dead stop.
Both my wife and I watched the whole thing. I turned to her, pointed at the cat, and said “look, a BMW driver”.

- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 3y agoEven when I was too young to drive I’d encounter this sentiment, specifically about BMW drivers. Can’t tell if it’s confirmation bias or a simple heightened sense of awareness but I can definitely make these observations as a driver today. But I’m in Salt Lake City where good driving is notable as the exception. A co-worker used to work sales in a context that had him chauffeuring clients who flew in. One particular client didn’t like being chauffeured because he enjoyed driving “the Mormon 500”.
