    The Forbes article seems to be citing numbers that are now a few weeks out of date.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.

      Read the source more carefully

      Tesla drivers have the highest accident rate. From Nov. 14, 2022, through Nov. 14, 2023, Tesla drivers had 23.54 accidents per 1,000 drivers. Ram (22.76)

      Accidents only. Worst driver counts DUIs a d fines as well.

      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 mostly urban though. 7 million isn’t that small and it shouldn’t affect something expressed as a rate anyway.

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