Read BMW & Mercedes, for example (actually, the over-the-top ones like Rolls Royce are so rare I've never noticed them!). The most aggressive are females under 25, and the most unobservant are SUV drivers. -- Forg! -DUH#6=- (Y1) "A blind man cannot judge the colour of flame."

My Comments

The writers here try to unveil who they think the most arrogant drivers are. I would have to agree partially in that I believe that drivers of costly vehicles whether it be luxury sedans, SUVs, or sports cars tend to think they "own the road". I am not poking at one particular group of drivers of vehicles, but I have had my own experiences with these drivers. It seems to me that their arrogance off the road also blends in with their driving, which may turn into arrogance on the road. I am not saying that all drivers of expensive vehicles are arrogant; I am merely stating my OWN experiences with this situation. But, I don't think it ends just there. I have also noticed many taxi drivers as well as bus drivers who tend to display this type of behavior. Many are very inconsiderate and think the rest of us drivers should yield to them! Sure, they are responsible for other passengers (i.e., a bus full of people or a taxi transporting toursits around) but still, it is not an excuse for their arrogant behavior.
I do not quite agree with the last statement of the writer's. I don't see where the writer's data could be coming from; perhaps through personal experience? Nonetheless, I stick with my opinions on taxi/bus drivers being the most aggressive types of drivers on the roads today, through my own experiences and judgements.
