BMW everytime....
I have very few run ins with drivers, which is surprising since I live in NJ :) But, the few times that I have (honking from behind (yesterday), yelling at me, close fly-by), its been a driver of a BMW.... every time. I have never been harassed by the usual suspect, the diesel pick up truck. Sorry for the meaningless post...Just an observation from a former BMW driver and current pickup driver.

Motorcyclists claim it's always Volvo drivers.

It's always white pickups for me, although one time it was a couple kids in a Honda Accord. They probably thought they were driving a white pickup.
|
Yeah, that's called confirmation bias.

Sorry, my experience is mostly the same as the OP and they are often just looking for a fight.
|
In Phoenix they all have a C.C.V.(Christ's Cult of the Valley)decal on their rear window.
|
The last three were Honda Accord, Chevy 1500, and a Nissan Altima. All three honked at me as they passed without giving me any breathing room. The Altima was exceptional - this guy accelerated right next to me and honked right as he was passing. I had just one run-in with a BMW driver, who just appeared to be completely oblivious to my presence, a Maserati driver, who was pretty much the same, and once was yelled at by a Prius driver (go figure that one out).
So I guess the moral of this story is that everyone can be a prick. |

Hillarious. Same exact thing happened to me yesterday. Pulling up to intersection, honked right behind me because I was going straight and he wanted to turn on red. Needless to say he was looking at a phlegm ornament on that silver hood during his commute. I was ready to throw down but he stayed in the car.

I believe that studies have shown that BMW drivers are the worst... along with Prius drivers.
Science Confirms That BMW And Prius Drivers Are The Worst Although it is anecdotal, white BMW's seem to be the most dangerous vehicle on the road. |
It's minivans for me..I carry the scars of one such encounter

Whether you're in a car or on a bike, if you've got the room to let someone by on a right turn, just do it. Frankly, you shouldn't even need a reminder honk - you should have been aware of their presence and intent already. |
Yeah, Beemers. Aggressive and entitled. Always in a hurry, presumably rushing to some critical occupation that involves pillaging the savings of the middle class.
|
My biggest one is the Toyota Pious, I do have issues with other vehicles.. but I suspect the smug that the drivers of the Pious' ingest from their vehicles causes them to detach from the reality of driving a vehicle.

this inferiority complex comes out into the only thing that they can feel control: driving like the self entitled aholes they are. People who are in power and empowered are not in a rush to get anywhere. Minions rush around like chickens. Leaders stand around and toss the seed. |
It's not a surprise. They market The Ultimate Driving Machine*. They really do drive nice and sharp compared to other makes. So of course they attract people who think they're the best drivers, which means if anything goes wrong it's someone else's fault.
My own worst interactions have been with vehicles full of teenagers, regardless of what make of car they are in; and lifted diesel redneck bro trucks. Even that hasn't been too bad. Guess I'm lucky or careful. * which as soon as the next model comes out becomes the Penultimate Driving Machine. That's my BMW joke, do you like it? |

In my experience it is ALWAYS Eagle Talon drivers.

You know the difference between BMW's and porcupines? BMW's have the ****** on the inside.
