Tell us something we don't know...! - Grahamm - 27-02-20
If you drive an expensive car you're probably a jerk, scientists say
Quote:A new study has found that drivers of flashy vehicles are less likely to stop and allow pedestrians to cross the road -- with the likelihood they'll slow down decreasing by 3% for every extra $1,000 that their vehicle is worth.

I talk about this with my mates, and although unexplainable there is no doubt to me that when someone gets into the driving seat of a BMW, the car undoubtedly brings out the worst in them.

I've just bought an Audi, does that mean I am a jerk or I have to become one?
