Let me be the first:

I've notived a lot of Dodge drivers are arrogant and agressive especially when they drive a bigass RAM or a riced up Neon. Tards in their RAM's ripping down the street cutting in and out of traffic.

This obviously is only my opinion from what i've come across.

If those aren't the worst drivers than you can kick their ass. :confused:

Dodge Caravans/Grand Caravan/Chrysler minivan thing whatever, hands down! I honestly think dodge has a rebate program in place to sell these stupid vans, where the lower your IQ, the cheaper you get it or something. Almost everyone I see driving these pieces of crap has noooo idea how to operate a vehicle at all, let alone one of these behemoths. Even worse is that they are so big and bulky you cant see around them unless your driving a lifted truck or something, which is dangerous because you never know when they are going to slam on the brakes or do something else equally retarded....

I havnt really noticed any other car in particular having really bad drivers, just the caravans, and I see this many times a week, not just one or two bad caravan drivers!

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety publishes insurance loss statistics for all models sold in the US. The report for 2003-2005 is here (http://www.iihs.org/research/hldi/composite_intro.html) .

Collision losses indicate the relative average loss payments per insured vehicle year filed under collision coverages. Collision insurance provides reimbursement for the cost of repairing crash damage to insured vehicles, less a specified deductible amount for which the policyholder is responsible.

All losses are stated in relative terms, with 100 representing the average injury, collision, or theft loss for all vehicles. For example, a result of 122 is 22 percent worse than average, and 96 is 4 percent better than average. The vehicles are listed within each group in ascending sequence results. For convenience, the overall results are color-coded to indicate better and worse than average. The results also are adjusted, or standardized, to reduce possible distortions from two nonvehicle factors — operator age (injury, collision, and theft results) and insurance deductible (collision and theft results only).

The 3 car models with the highest average collision coverage payout per vehicle per year are:

3) Dodge SRT-4 - 284

2) BMW M3 - 291

1) Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution - 428

I have to say lifted trucks as well....its sad that this is the type of veichle that flys by me on deerfoot doing 140 all the time. I get passed by like 5 or 6 of them everytime i drive to calgary. Dont these people get worse mileage when they are giving it? I guess if you can afford the truck you can afford the gas? :dunno:

Then again, the big lifted truck has something to do with SPD
or Small Penis Disorder....which makes people act like tards to begin with, never mind putting them in a big truck :eek:

My list is:

1. HUMMER (small penis syndrome, loves to tailgate)

2. VW (everyone who drives a VW thinks it's a race car...I've only noticed this in Alberta though...weird)

3. BMW (never signals)

I totally agree with this. Tons of people that think of a vehicle as simply an appliance buy Toyota's because they hear they are the most reliable and that is all they care about. These people seem to be clueless out on the road imo.

And for the record, I have 2 BMW's and I always signal :angel:

Any make of minivan, though not dangerous, they drive slow and stupid, especially when I'm nice enough to let them in front of me.

Any make of SUV, more aggressive than the minivan, though still slow, a serious lack of shoulder checks before changing lanes makes them more dangerous.

Late model Dodge Rams, whether it be the downtown whitecollar worker with his Mega-cab dually, the oil-rigger redneck with his 2500 jacked up 4', or the ordinary joe who's dumb enough to have a spoiler on his PICK UP TRUCK, they all tend to drive fast and aggressive, it's the Redneck Racecar of choice.

Oh, and anyone who steals his brothers E55 Merc.

From my experience it's Toyota Corolla drivers.

I thought it was limited to the early 2000's model in beige/ light brown, but I think these morons are trading up to the '06s and '07s.

Corolla's in dark blue or beige, look out for them.:guns:

Volvo's, that's why they have to make them so safe.

But when you think about it, pretty much any vehicle driven by a questionably stable, pathological liar with schizophrenic tendencies would be at least somewhat bad.

Or women, that's not very safe either. Always getting distracted by their sandy...............beaches!

I would have to agree with pontiac as well, more sunfire/cavalier then any other model. Reason being: Whenever you see 2 nice cars or even two shitty cars on the street weaving in and out of traffic driving like idiots, it is almost a GUARANTEE that a cavi or sunfire nearby will join the chase.. i have seen this multiple times, its hilarious.

My list:

1: Hummer - thinks they are invincible due to the size of the vehicle.

2. smart cars - had a few runs in with smart car drivers... they usually like to squeeze in tiny spaces at high speed to get ahead of you. Given the size of the vehicle, I am surprise at how they drive.

3. Pickup trucks of all brands - we all knows what the problem is here... especially in calgary where the city is over-populated with these vehicles.

4. Some minivans - especially those with Children Onboard signs usually drives the worst.

5. SUV - likes to race you in residential areas...

In Vancouver it's Corollas (and yes it's true I think they're trading up to the newer 03' up body style) and Benzos (all across the board). Mostly fobs who can barely hold the steering wheel straight..Never drive next to these idiots in the rain!!

Recently at a showing I was waiting in my car while watching this middle-aged chinese woman with driving gloves try to parallel park in a spot that was at least 8 car lengths long (probably practicing)..No go so she moved up to the next car and tried again, no dice....again and she failed....she ended up pulling into a parking lot, demoralized...It was a great way to end the day :D

Although the other day this riced up Teg pulled the biggest bonehead move I've ever seen in traffic. He pulled into the turn lane at Barlow and 7th Ave N.E. and blew through the intersection to the other side and re-merged... WTF?? Who is in THAT much of a hurry? Think I ended up catching up to him at McKnight driving normally... Bonehead dangerous driving really got him ahead. :P

based on these two premises, the cars sold the best and with the most units on the canadian / calgaryan roads would have the MOST bad drivers: Toyota /' Honda

by a logic process called deduction - japanese brands

if you cannot follow the logic, you must be in the above category and will react to my post based on bias and reacting to me calling you a bad driver, hence rendering your post inneficient
