The Worst Drivers Drive What Type of Car?

Prius drivers. What's the difference between a human being and a BMW? With the human being, the asshole is on the outside.

Shailynn ... Your items 2 and 3 are accurate. I don't have as many problems 4-door Wrangler drivers. That said, I might lumping them in with everyone who drives a massive SUV but doesn't know how to drive a car that big. Most people in SUVs would actually be better off in minivans, but don't want to be seen driving a minivan.

I've never had problems with Prius drivers. They're just there ... so [shrug].

Volvos. They go slow in the fast lane on rural freeways. In fact, I don’t think they ever just drive in the right lane.

Suburus. Primarily because the turn signals must have been disabled. It’s gotten better as they’ve become more poplar than ever as the demographic of ownership has expanded. But it has a Karen Kar history to it. Plus people drive them on vacation to get out to the wilderness. But they never see more wilderness than a Highway construction zone. But they do hit every over priced coffee shop along the way.

^ Yeah I am a crunchy granola liberal motherfucker who's been driving a subaru for 20 years. Karen is a racist term.

Gotta be some supped up blue civic or something similar.

Then I would say some oversized pick up truck/SUV there is definitely a issue on the roads that they just act like because they have a bigger vehicle than you do.

In the Northeast where aggressive driving is all too common, the worst are drivers of luxury brands. Easily. Audi drivers top the list. A is for Audi or asshole (seems like the same thing on the road). BMW not far behind. Together, the two of them almost make me appreciate Mercedes drivers. Not.

^ lol agreed.

Skibum is a Subaru owner who goes against the grain, at least to where I live. Where I live the only people who drive Subarus are the Bernie Sanders granola bar type, aside from a few WRX tuner enthusiasts who actually do not drive like assholes.

That’s just like my gripe with the Jeeps. Usually it’s some chick who has all the trim and wheels painted hot pink with a stupid “Jeep’s Are 4 Girls” sticker on the back, or some douche who is 5’4” who has to make up for his height deficiency by jacking up his Jeep a foot and attach a flagpole to the back flying a “Don’t Blame Me I Voted For Trump” flag. One extreme to the other so to speak. I understand you want to “bling” out your car but for godsakes that’s what they made garages, man caves and she sheds for.

For me it's these two:

Aggressive Dudes in full size pick-ups that drive them way too fast for their own or the vehicles capability.

Distracted Mom in a minivan or SUV with a phone in her hand when the vehicle based on age / model MUST have bluetooth capability.

Posers.

Ahaha, yes the sooped up Civics is definitely one. Especially because the main modification they do is cut off their muffler. If I go to a hookah lounge in San Antonio 4 times out of 5 you hear them in the parking lot 🙄

As far as Jeep Wrangler…I got rear ended & car totaled by a Jeep Wrangler once. Hilarious stuff, the driver was trying to defend himself to the cop by claiming the light was already green and I didn’t go. (Not true) Despite the fact that there was two lanes and it would be easy to go around somebody even if there was an issue. The cop rolled his eyes and the guy shut up.

But that was the only incident that stood out to me so idk?

—— But over all, coming from Texas and currently residing in Colorado, I think both states have no shortage of douche drivers. So it’s tough for me to profile any vehicle. Texans will tailgate before passing (because if you don’t, then the other car will speed up and make it harder for you to pass. Got to get them appropriately nervous lol) And Colorado has this weird hang up about not letting you over, so you learn not to use turn signals.

But on the bright side, both states have a healthy appreciation for driving speeds. 🙂

Most trucks with lift kits mostsouped up civics and other similar types BMWs

Subaru by far. I think because owners buy into the hype that they’re the “safest cars on the road” that they can drive like assholes.

Q. What's the difference between a BMW and a cactus?

A. A cactus has the pricks on the outside.

I drive a BMW.

^^^ I thought you rode a bike just like San Jose Guy?!?!?

I always have problems with anyone in a Toyota Prius. I'm always wanting them to GET OUT OF THE WAY !

BMW ownership has its privileges.

Any lifted pickup truck, double if it has flared fenders, quadruple if it has rubber testicles hanging off the back. You say this ISN'T compensation for your tiny ass pecker? Any car with a ton of political bumper stickers (especially leftist ones). As if it gives them license to misbehave elsewhere. Any luxury SUV driven by a teenager, I guarantee they're texting while driving. I'll slam the horn to snap them back to reality.

I have better luck around BMW drivers than Mercedes drivers. The latter act like they own the road--super aggressive, never let you in, weave dangerously in and out.

I live in Mass, the land of asshole drivers, so the shorter answer would be who ISN'T an asshole driver.

There really is something to the BMW 3 series being a favorite among terrible drivers. The Z's are pretty bad too, but the rest of the lineup doesn't seem to have the same problem. I think they occupy that space where the owner has to have enough money to feel some entitlement and superiority, but still be on the edge of having it all slip away. So, they're simultaneously trying to enjoy it before its gone & make sure they prove to everyone else they're better. Occasionally you'll see an M5 or i8 or even the 2 Series drivers acting a fool but its nowhere near the frequency of the 3's.

Things kids drive are a close second. Modified Civics & the Suburu WRX or Scion FRS and similar cars are usually a safe bet for a bad driver. I'd throw in the Camaro's, Mustangs, and Challengers here but I don't think they really fall in that category anymore.

Hmm, I drive a prius (hey, it's cheap and reliable) and EVERYBODY cuts me the fuck off. I've had motorcycles cut in front of me, not big harleys or some rocket, but some 80's CB400 looking thing. If you try driving like an asshole in a prius, you'll die. (my other car is a RAM 3500 with a 500 lb deer catcher, No one cuts that off, so it's gotta be the prius). The last several cars that did just total asshat shit in front of me were all subarus. And the little wannabe SUV versions, not the WRX things. I'm always confused why anyone even buys that POSs, too damned expensive for a car that scream boring looser (hey, the prius might scream that, but it does so at no inflated price), and then drive around like a dickhead.

This discussion is also regional. Dolfan gives perfect examples but with the exception of the WRX all the cars he mentioned are RWD and just one is FWD. Where I live we get a good amount of snow so you see a lot more of the cars/SUV/trucks I mentioned. A lot of people can’t even drive their 4WD Jeep right in the snow, I’d love to see them try in a RWD sports car with 6” of ground clearance.

I would make the distinction between bad drivers and asshole drivers. Bad drivers are those that can't or won't pay enough attention to traffic patterns and rules of the road to drive appropriately and are therefore a hazard. Asshole drivers are the type that fly up the left hand turn lane past 20 cars waiting at the red light only to try to cut back in because they are too "special" to wait.

Bad Drivers: Anyone with grey hair driving a 20 year old Toyota Camry or worse a 20 year old full size Buick is probably long over due for follow-up driving test.

Asshole Drivers: Japanese tuner cars and BMW 3 series seem to be the worse.

Years ago when I live in Tampa, the running joke was if they had a UF gator tag they were probably an asshole and if it was a UF gator tag on a BMW you knew they were a gaping asshole.

Suvs and trucks. Anything with Arizona plates.

Kias. I have scientifically proven this. Not only that, but the lighter the color, the worse the driver. People who drive white Kias are the worst drivers. I do not know why this is, but it is true.

In my area it is definitely Subaru drivers...we are even referred to as Subieville! Also I believe around 96% of Subaru owners are lesbian so not sure if that factors in. An exception seems to be the WRX.

Second are Prius drivers. They just seem oblivious to the world around them.

The latest are the Honda Crx drivers. So many of them here and none of them can drive for shit..at least the ones on the road when I am.

Good topic!
