Just for example, I have noticed that Saturn drivers and Dodge Ram drivers take their cars to be either excellently balanced handling cars or just ignore everyone else on the road. Anybody else with similar experiences?

These people seem to have outstripped Luxury car owners in terms
of being clueless and rude. Some of them are rude just do to size and
monster truck modifications.

No, you cannot infer a below average skill level based on a given make/model.

[E90E]

obviously there are exceptions, but majority wise?

[BcuzAWD]

All prius drivers suck ass. LOL.
They all drive slow when traffic is moving at 75mph and they drive fast when traffics moving at 25mph. Complete idiots 99.9% of them that cut cars off left and right.

[BTM]

I truly believe you can't make such blanket generalizations, especially given the rather large sample size of cars on the road. To say that all X drivers are Y is to have a rudimentary mindset regarding the matter, IMO

Find the vehicle that is most driven by women and you shall have your answer.

when I was young I used to hear that there may be aliens in out space. Now being mature and a father, I realize that there are aliens here on earth.

Basically uneducated people that are absolutely clueless about life's daily responsibilities and reality on earth. I hate to stereotype but people who drive chevy cavaliers seem to be the most clueless people/drivers on earth and I always steer clear of them.

hope that adds to the discussion...

Around here the SUV drivers (soccer moms) drive like asshats when they're late for their hair appointment after they've worked out at the gym and grabbed their protein smoothie and they have to talk to their GFs on the phone without using the bluetooth their car has built in. And your typical BMW, Merc, Audi, Lexus drivers (you know, the ones who just wanted a better status symbol) drive like bats out of hell, which isn't always a bad thing. I just tell them to "go find those cops for me".

Generally, Corolla drivers are BAD. That and anyone that still drives a Mercury Topaz or a K-Car. All this is based on experience, I do not kid. Scary drivers, so clueless.

most of the time that's true. There are good female drivers out there, I just never see them on the road.

Prius thinks hes at the drag strip and comes flying down my lane at like 50mph so I braced myself and all I heard was tires skidding, I shit you not he was about 3 inches away from my rear.

And, on average, you can definitively say you experience the type of driving significantly more from Prius drivers relative to all Prius' you see than other drivers relative to all other cars you see?

The fact that every time these threads comes up and everyone says different things is further evidence that bad driving is a function of the driver, not the car they happen to be driving.

[PsychoSlug]

BTM's responses are all correct. /thread

Agreed on the Corolla drivers, especially the beige ones around here. Generally everytime I see a beige Corolla something bad happens.

I know you are correct. I just notice a lot of bad driving from prius owners in general so I probably miss the bad drivers in other cars because anytime I see a Prius I get as far away as I can.

x1000!

You nailed it! There is no in between with them. Either they feel it is their ecological right to hyper-mile 10 mph below the speed limit n the left lane or they drive like maniacs because they have something to prove!

[Chriztofor]

I stay away from anyone that has more than 6 dents on their car.
