I can tell you who the worst drivers are but the political correctness police forbid me from telling you.

sometimes the car does have the effect on the driver. A lot of the so-called "higher up" brands that money makers tend to drive, as I mentioned before, BMWs, Mercedes and Lexus drivers, a lot, not all but a lot, feel that because their car is the "higher up" brand, that they have priority on the road.
Here in NJ I get it all the time. Since my Camaro has been in the garage all winter and now in the shop getting an engine make over, I've been driving my 140K mile tired out trailblazer. Since I know it's not going to be zipping past traffic or pulling a full G on a turn, I keep my driving with it simple and I see it all of the time.
It happens notoriously coming off the exit ramps on the turnpike here. Exit 9 off the NJ turnpike has 4 lanes (2 north and 2 south) that dump into a 10 lane toll booth. After the toll booth, you only have 1 lane north and 1 lane south to choose from. I'll see these drivers come over from the far right lane, to try to get into the left south bound lane, cutting off everyone and everything in their path, and looking around like "Bitch, look at my car. You better let me in!!!"
