    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.

      The Forbes article seems to be citing numbers that are now a few weeks out of date.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

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

        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.

      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.”

      “If you can’t Dodge it, Ram it”

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