    The fact that Ram drivers are a close second is hilarious. I guess there is some truth to all the jokes about Rams being driven by aggressive idiots.

        At least Tesla owners can blame it on the computer. 🤣

      The Forbes article seems to be citing numbers that are now a few weeks out of date. They cite that Tesla drivers have 23.54 accidents per 1,000 drivers and Ram has 22.76. If you go to their source link you’ll see that the more recent numbers are Tesla: 31.13 and Ram: 32.90.

      Ram in MA is 64.44 and I want these fucking things outlawed.

        Why does Massachusetts have such aggressive drivers? That seems like a large deviation for such a small state

            Maybe in the Berkshires? The Boston area doesn’t get to much snow, and I would bet that is where most of the accidents are.

          I moved here and am still asking that question myself. Only in mass do people honk if you dare to stop for a stop sign.

        It’s it the Ram that’s the problem, or the driver that also likes to cover the Ram in Infowars bumper stickers?

      “If you can’t Dodge it, Ram it”

      I see why Stellantis spun Ram into its own brand now.

      I had a friend years ago with Dodge Ram van. He said, “it says Dodge in the front because that’s what you’re supposed to do when you see it coming and Ram in the back because you didn’t read the warning on the front.”

      At that point is seems like a good idea to replace human drivers.

        Exactly, bring in much more public transportation. It would solve so many problems.
