Unofficial Statistical Research

Try this out.  Whenever you see someone driving like an idiot, call out the manufacturer.  Do this any time you see someone turning turning from the driving lane when there's a turning lane, not paying any attention in general, anyone parked with the front of the car dead center while the tail of the car is in another spot, making a left hand turn from the inner turning lane and exiting the turn into the outside lane when there's a car there, or any number of other dumb and careless offenses.

My findings: about 85% of the offenders are in: minivans, Toyota products (including Lexus, but interestingly enough NOT Scions), Kias/Hyundais, Buicks, and small SUVs (Honda Pilot small).  Yes, I know this is horribly unscientific for many reasons, but I find it incredible that 85% of the bad drivers drive maybe 30% of the cars on the road.  This is especially funny to me because these are the cars that I generally consider the worst built and/or engineered on the market.

There's no science here, nothing conclusive.  Maybe this only works in my area.
