What makes BMW drivers ass, actually? I'm in Japan, and I don't see that pattern.
A common joke over here is that BMWs don't come with the turn signal installed because their drivers are stereotyped as bad drivers who don't signal.
I run into plenty of them anecdotally, and I can't say if I see them any more often than not
From my time in Japan, the driving manners there are a world away from other western countries, but I think the difference is marketing and customers.
For decades BMW has been marketed in the angloshpere (US,UK,AUS,NZ,CAN) as The Ultimate Driving Machine and this has attracted the type of customer who see themselves as would be race drivers. Every car trip is a race and every other car is a competitor who must be passed.
I know one guy who considers it the safest driving machine and regards all other cars as deathtraps.
He should really be driving something like a brown Volvo 240 wagon (brown is the safest color) and be factually right
This explains a lot
