The brands are proxies for the buyers, so it's biased only if you think the manufacturing of the car is the culprit. Pontiac, Mercury & Saturn are more likely

Pontiac, Mercury & Saturn are more likely to be driven by older drivers or at least people who keep their cars in service for a long time (which doesn't work out so well if you are getting into accidents).
DUI is very much a white guy crime (check the stats), and very much tied to a sense of entitlement... sounds like a lot of BMW drivers, no?

- to11mtm 3y agoIDK I'd drive an M/T SC2 again if I could get one for the right price. It's a very specific level of scary-fun that is absent in modern vehicles.
- cbsmith 3y agoThat suggests to me you're disproportionately likely to avoid getting into accidents.
- cbsmith 3y agoI'm going to go out on a limb here and say that your poor friends and relatives keep their cars in service for a long time.
- dharmab 3y agoMore likely they're getting hand-me-downs from relatives or buying very old used cars. It's hard to keep an old car running if you don't either have capital or free time to replace aging parts.
- cbsmith 3y agoIn my experience, since getting a replacement vehicle is challenging, deductibles are crushing, and increased insurance costs are debilitating, the poorer you are, the more careful you are driving your car.
