NEW YORK, Aug. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Is there a link between the car you drive, and your likelihood to drive recklessly? A ValuePenguin.com study found that drivers of Porsches, Oldsmobiles and Mercury cars were as much as 12% more likely than the national average to cause a fatal traffic accident.
In a quest to shed light on the popular question, 'Which car brands have the most reckless drivers', ValuePenguin.com analyzed thousands of fatal crash data points from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and here are the key findings from this analysis:
Key Findings:
ValuePenguin.com analysts collated data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System ("FARS") from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and calculated the percentage of vehicles involved in fatal accidents where a "driver factor" was recorded, as well as where it was recorded that the driver was speeding and/or had alcohol involvement. "Make Most Likely to Be Driven by Contributing Driver" is the make where that factor made up the largest percentage of fatal accidents involving that make, relative to other makes. Makes involved in fewer than 25 fatal accidents were excluded from aggregation.
