University Study Claims The More Expensive Car You Have, The More Entitled You Are

The poor state of today's drivers has nothing to do with wealth, age. race or gender. The global populace is more stressed, less attentative, more self absorbed, less patient and less civil than ever before. All of which spills over into their driving habits. You don't have to conduct a university study or get a government grant to figure it out or pin it on one group over another.

hell - hood-rich folk act like they own they street when they get a new pre-owned SUV.

i see plenty of Bentley, G-class AMG, 7er-drivers simply take as much time as they want to cruise the streets where I live. of course, many of them have $1-5mln dollar homes & run various businesses in the area. I expected them to have some level of arrogance....to some degree. But not all of the time.

University study? Lost credibility right there.

as opposed to some misc research (office) based in city nobody's really heard of?

Once upon a time when someone put speed limit in the autobahn in Germany with the intention to reduce the accident but the opposite, the accidents raised. After careful study they discover that at lower speed the people was too distracted. To fix the issue they remove the speed limit and the accident rate was down again. They discover that when you drive slow you are most of the time distracted. When you drive fast, you pay attention because you know that just one mistake will allow you to see the face of GOD right away without second chances.

There is some truth to this. As someone who walks his dog at night you notice the cars that actually stop for a stop sign and those who slow down, but drive right through. They are always driving a luxury car. Rules don't seem to apply to them once they reach a certain income level. This sample size of 850 homes is too small, but you can't help but notice if you see it on a regular basis.

Living in LA, there are crappy drivers all over regardless of socioeconomic level, however selfish/entitled driving is definitely a thing here with many of the wealthy. They just don't think rules apply to them. I am not saying this applies to everyone, but this behavior seems to "index high" with the luxury drivers, particularly BMW drivers. Again this doesn't apply to all, just seems
more noticeable.

Sorry, but I completely disagree with this. In my experience the non-luxury cars are the worst. Luxury car drivers care that their cars dont' get hit or scratched so they tend to be more careful. Even those "entitled", and we'r enot talking about the obnoxious high schooler who parents bought them their first BMW. If I'm walkign in a parking lot or at an intersection, i always tend to pay more caution to a clunker than to a high-end car driver.

Clearly, you've never seen Audi drivers on the road.

Given how Alt-Left/socialist/fascist/communist American universities are, they should know a thing or two about entitled people.

Is no one going to speak about how ill-fitting the guy's suit is?

Matt

That is the new style with flood pants with no socks -disturbing and ridiculous looking I know and why I refuse to wear a suit until this stupid fad passes. Elbow patches and double breast suits next? Fashion Crime -make it stop!!!

(1) I know what the "new style" is because I dress impeccably and definitely keep up with the trends. BUT...

(2) I make sure that my suit neither looks one size too small or one size too large.

(3) I agree with you that this is hideous.

Matt - If you look at current Advertisements - which I assume YOU are not in - all of the men look like their suits are too small. Most cannot Button the Jacket - and the Pants legs and Suit arms give almost no room to move - that is the High Current style.

THat you choose to wear a suit larger than they do - means you are not following current style - you prefer - as I do - a suit to have room to move and not look like you Grew OUT of it. But that IS the current way they make them.

I too wore suits for work and never gave into the Tailor to make them smaller as that STYLE progressed - and virtually all of my suite had to be custom made due to size considerations.
