"I had noticed that the ones most likely to run a red light, not give way to pedestrians and generally drive recklessly and too fast were often the ones driving fast German cars," Helsinki University's Jan-Erik Lönnqvist said in a press release.
He set out to discover what kind of person is more likely to buy an expensive car, creating a personality test of Finnish car owners.
"The answers were unambiguous: self-centred men who are argumentative, stubborn, disagreeable and unempathetic are much more likely to own a high-status car such as an Audi, BMW or Mercedes," the press release states.
"These personality traits explain the desire to own high-status products, and the same traits also explain why such people break traffic regulations more frequently than others," Lönnqvist added.
His study cited previous research that indicated drivers behind the wheel of a costly vehicle are more likely to flout traffic regulations or drive recklessly.

focus on the ugali not the brand coz "high-status cars" may be different in other areas

btw people with those traits also tend to break traffic rules

February 27th, 2020 03:01 PM #3Many pickup trucks and SUVs are priced north of US$50k once amenities are added in. So, they're not exactly cheap. Most motorists I've seen here who drive German and Japanese luxury brands and V8 sedans are actually well-behaved.

February 27th, 2020 12:41 PM #5One thing I've noticed in expensive cars (that aren't sports cars) is that their window tints are usually very light to almost clear.
I guess they're comfortable being visible to other drivers and pedestrians.

February 27th, 2020 10:04 PM #10geo yatta,
Lately mas madami ako batikos sa honda lalo na yung sobrang pangbobola sa servicing like x1r treamtent bolahan. And the overprice brv na katas lang ng laguna at gawa pala ng mga rebeldeng mang-gagawa.
So im not biased. Pag may mali dapat ibulgar.
Minalas ang honda dahil nagpasok ng desel yung crv. You need to stay sa identity mo na gaso lang.
Pero ito toyota eh ponzi schemer. Look at the pricing of those vehicles. Seriously, avanza 900thou???
And pag drive kayo avanza dapat naka-tint talaga. Pag baba ng kotse dapat nakayuko lang tapos lakad ng mabilis. Wag kayo magpapakita ng mukha.

February 27th, 2020 10:46 PM #13Kags, hindi porket naka PPV eh may kaya na. Minsan mas may kaya pa yung naka wigo kesa fortuner. *ehem dr. d
80% ng PPV ay bank loan.
My point is, there is no shame in driving an econobox na pag aari mo.
Wag mo lang ipagyabang ang PPV mong on loan. (Not you per se, just an example)

February 27th, 2020 11:43 PM #16Lol natawa ako sa walang kamatayang pagmamahal sa lacoste.
That maybe the reason why i only have 3 lacoste t shirts and polos na hindi ko na rin sinusuot. Lahat pa yun regalo sakin. [emoji28]
BTT: let's not belittle people who drive econoboxes like vios or avanza just because.
Like i said, i know a billionaire who drives an 05 camry. Nothing wrong in that. I mean he can afford a ferrari or whatever car he likes pero wala, mas pinili niya old camry niya kahit na billionaire siya.

February 27th, 2020 11:50 PM #17wala ako issue sa vios and avanza sa tamang presyo. So hindi ko talaga minamaliit yung capacidad nung bumili.
Quiniquestion ko lang kung bibili kayo ng ganyan sasakyan sa halagang 900thou??
Pero sa 600 to 700thou eh katangap-tangap na.
Im into value for money. Buying cars is not charity. Let us not help toyota philippines or other car manufacturer na maging ponzi schemers.
Nilagyan lang ng konti amenities eh ijackup na presyo sa milyones. Jan hustler si toyota philippines.
