A recent study conducted in the UK asked 2,000 motorists to take a narcissism test, with the results showing whether the individuals lacked empathy and had an unnatural sense of self-importance. From the results, it was found that BMW ranked high in all the areas discussed, based on the 19 car brands the survey was conducted for.

Kings of the road

According to ScrapCarComparison, a recent study published by them also shows that BMW drivers had the most psychopathic tendencies, too. People stuck with a Mercedes or a Honda were in second and third place. The least popular car brands among narcissistic people tend to be Skoda and Volvo.

Claudene Caroline Ahnoop commented:

"BMW drivers, there is like a switch that gets turned on as soon as they see another BMW. When the switch is on, they race, overtake, sit on bumper etc. Both my husband and I drive performance cars, but we will find a 320d sitting on our bumper or wanting to race, like for goodness sake, I will leave you behind for dead, there isn’t any respect for the next driver."

Llewellyn G shared:

"It’s because they have to pay for everything as an extra, they are always angry 😂"

Jaco Le Roux posted:

"NO. False news. It is the majority of South Africans that have become lawless. Do not only blame BMW drivers. Lawlessness in South Africa's roads is a major issue."

Bianca Jordaan said

"BMW scored higher because they probably answered the questions truthfully; the rest all lied 🤣"
