Drivers who don’t want to be considered a jerk on the road may want to think twice before purchasing an expensive car, according to new research.

The nicer the car, the ruder the driver?

If the cars you see in your rearview mirror tailgating you always seem to be flashy models, it is not coincidence. Owners of more expensive vehicles really are less considerate drivers, a study has found.

People driving expensive cars are more dangerous to pedestrians, and the more valuable their vehicles are the less likely they are to stop at zebra crossings.

The science is looking pretty unanimous on this one: Drivers of expensive cars are the worst.

Come on premium car drivers... don't conform to stereotype.

The more expensive a car is, the less likely the driver is to stop for a pedestrian who is crossing the road, at least in Las Vegas. The race and sex of the person trying to get across the road may also matter.

Drivers of more expensive cars are less likely to stop for people on foot trying to cross the street, a new study found. They also yielded less to men and African Americans, though that difference didn’t reach statistical significance.
