There are a lot of stereotypes surrounding the kinds of people who drive an Audi and as it turns out, at least one of those stereotypes is true: when they get behind the wheel, they're kind of terrible.
A new study conducted by Van Monster has found that Audi drivers are the most inept, inconsiderate, and dishonest motorists on the road, and they've got the stats to back it up.
Those 2,000 people are behind the wheel of the UK’s top 20 cars of 2018, and they were asked to anonymously confess their greatest vehicular sins, ranging from leaving dents in parked cars to expressing some serious road rage during rush hour.
40 percent of Audi drivers surveyed admitted they wouldn't be very likely to own up to an accidental fender-bender and confess to damaging someone else's car.
Other offences include cutting off other motorists, suffering from road rage, colliding with other vehicles, parking across two spaces, and parking on double yellow lines.
These folks were found to be most likely to open their doors onto fellow motorists’ vehicles, damage other vehicles, and also damage their friends and family members’ vehicles whilst behind the wheel of them.
When it comes to road rage, SEAT drivers took the cake.
Just behind them were Hyundai and Honda drivers, who were also found to be rather good folks when they got behind the wheel.
A similar study conducted last year by GoCompare Car Insurance turned up similar results, though company spokesperson Matt Oliver said to take these with a grain of salt.
"While it may be no surprise that higher-powered, luxury cars are the marques of choice for some of the more dangerous drivers on the road, it's not true of all owners of these makes," he said.
So while it may certainly seem like facts are facts and Audi drivers really are just the absolute worst, let's not paint them all with the same brush. Not until we know for sure, anyway.
