Perhaps more than one suspected it and others strongly denied it, however, science has unanimously determined a correlation between drivers who leave much to be desired and their interest in acquiring high-end cars.

If you drive an expensive vehicle, odds are you are less than courteous to pedestrians.

Drivers on a whole are not all that great at stopping for pedestrians waiting at crosswalks, but those driving expensive car are much less likely to yield for the crossing pedestrians, a new study has found.

Researchers have uncovered some disturbing attitudes towards pedestrians — and it seems owners of luxury cars are the worst offenders.

A new study has confirmed what most people already know: there is a strong correlation between the price of a car and that driver’s compassion for the safety of others.

According to the study published in Science Direct journal, such people are also likely to flout traffic laws than their counterparts with cheap cars.

If you already know that jerks are more likely to drive fancy cars, you’re probably not going to be surprised to learn that those very same fancy cars are unlikely to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks. And a new study has confirmed that’s exactly the case. A new study from the Journal of Transport and Health investigates if there is a correlation between car cost and the likelihood of not yielding to pedestrians.

The research also returned troubling results regarding overall driver behaviour towards people of colour.
