Ditto for at least 50% of all dodgy overtakes, expensive late model Euro cars. Same trend for crashes, as in cars sitting pranged up on side of road or in a paddock...yep you guessed it, late model Euro cars.
Now neither my trainee or myself are Rhodes scholars, but the trend in this was obvious. Now I can't call this definitive research by any means, but does having a fancy car make a driver believe he/she is above the law, and/or possesses above average driving skills on account of the fancy vehicle? The evidence suggests there may well be, no offence intended
very important people with flash cars spend more time on the phone maybe?
