    I think it's not a linear upward curve it's more of a parabola. But I need some gov't funding to conduct this study.
    Cheap car owners D-G-A-F!

    I think the jerks are more so the cheaper economy car guys. Maybe that's because of all the fast food delivery companies like skip, uber eats, etc.. rushing to to get a big tip.

    Well it’s not politically correct to say the Asian’s or women are bad drivers anymore. So we have to find someone to blame.

    Might as well pick a small portion of the population lol.

    Hating people for wealth is the last frontier of socially acceptable discrimination.

    I think we are still OK to hate on old white men, and fat white men. At least I hope so. I hate those fuckers.

    The only correlation I have ever personally noticed between jerk drivers and vehicle types are lifted diesel trucks - seems like a disproportionate amount of them are jerks, but that is purely anecdotal. By far and away the worst drivers (in terms of not knowing how to drive) I have ever encountered are soccer mom types, regardless of vehicle. When I travel to other countries, it's like people all of a sudden know how to drive - Calgary has always stuck me as particularly bad in that sense.

    Generally speaking, people driving expensive cars are more successful.

    On a basic level, the ingredients for success - assertiveness, decisiveness, lack of patience for ineptitude - would be seen as "negative" driving behaviours by the general population that struggles constantly. It's not surprising that these strugglers view people in nicer cars as aggressive, or "jerks".

    Plus, people are haters.

    True. Saw one parked right at a mall exit once for a quick pick up, blocking everyone.

    Little do they know, I also try to not stop for pedestrians, but my little peasant mobile stalls frequently because I'm poor, giving the illusion that I was intending to stop.
