worst than bmw drivers

Ah c'mon now. That's going too far.

I'd love to know what the stats are.

Edit: finding it difficult to get raw numbers but I did come across this little nugget:

BMWs are coveted cars, but their owners earned the particularly poor distinction of being most likely to drive under the influence. “BMW drivers had 3.13 DUIs per 1,000 drivers

Link.

In the US, if my memory serves me correctly, that coveted title of "Most likely to be DUI" belongs to Dodge Ram drivers.

If it turned out to be BMWs, though, I wouldn't exactly be surprised. 😁

Haha. In the linked article RAM drivers are the most likely to kill so you nearly got the nail on the head.

I don't know about the insurance fraud, but when I see a Mercedes I put distance between myself and them. The most bonkers and dangerous shit I've seen on the highways is from Mercedes drivers.
