Mercedes Benz Drivers the Rudest by Maker – Or Are They Just More Often Senile?

A few months ago my wife mentioned several near misses with Nissans while driving. She declared them to be the “Rudest Drivers”. I agree to have seen numinous rude Nissan drivers, but were they really the worst?

I decided to do my own not very scientific poll. For the last few months on and near I-5, I have keep informal track of rude or strange driving, like sudden cutoffs, near misses, etc.

My findings were startling – of the ten incidents FIVE involved Mercedes Benz drivers. Nissan was indeed bad, coming in second with two, and Honda, Ford, and Chevy having one incident each. It is not uncommon to see Mercedes cars, but that is so vastly beyond what it should be statistically, it really has me wondering. Do these particular drivers not care? Is there something wrong with the car itself, like drivers sliding down that slick seat leather, which makes them unable to see others cars? Are they more often senile, given the very advanced age of most Benz drivers?

Also interesting to note is that though roughly half the cars and trucks in the area are made right here in the USA, they were way down the list statistically. Meaning, at least in my neck of the woods, American car and truck drivers are much more polite than average, and vastly more so than Granny in her Benz.

Watch out Benz drivers we are on to you now! Don’t forget your glasses, and for goodness sake if you have forgotten how to drive, please don’t!

I am joking, except that I truly did see breakout by car maker noted above this Spring…
