A study by UNLV suggests drivers who have expensive cars are not very nice behind the wheel.
A new study has found that drivers of flashy vehicles are less likely to stop and allow pedestrians to cross the road -- with the likelihood they'll slow down decreasing by three per cent for every extra US$1,000 that their vehicle is worth.

According to a study by American researchers, drivers of expensive cars do not stop at pedestrian crossings. The probability of the driver stopping at pedestrian crossings decreases by 3% for every $1,000 increase in the price of the car.
If you are a pedestrian, you know one thing: Drivers aren’t usually your friend.
Drivers with nice cars pose a bigger risk to pedestrians than people who drive clunkers, according to a study.
In some probably not terribly surprising news, it turns out expensive car owners may not always be the kindest, most empathetic of drivers.
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.
