Elite snobs. They're everywhere. You see them waiting impatiently in bank lineups, and you hear them in busy restaurants vociferously complaining that the service is too slow. They yell at minimum-wage-earning student workers in clothing stores, and they disturb people in movie theaters by talking loudly, texting, or displaying other obnoxious behavior. You see them taking selfies in public washrooms and wearing sunglasses in dark settings, and they're always dispensing advice that wasn’t asked for. It might be a lazy co-worker who calls you “boss” while constantly reminding you that he has seniority. It might be a beer-league softball teammate who consistently drinks too much and then tells you why you never made it into the big leagues. It could also be a family member.

There's no single trait that defines the type of driver who is an elite snob. Most, but certainly not all, are self-centered, arrogant, and oblivious to how their actions affect others. A great number of them tend to boast and will do anything to feel superior to those around them while, at the same time, failing to realize how moronic they appear. A lot of them act like they're the life of the party, but they lack any sense of social awareness. You can’t always identify a d-bag until they begin to talk but there are a few reliable indicators. For instance, a guy wearing a pink polo shirt with the collar up along with a backward baseball cap is probably a d-bag. The type of vehicle that a person drives is also a useful clue.

20 Almost Any BMW

Dave is a television channel that's been broadcasting in Ireland and the U.K. since 2007. They recently began to air a new show called Yianni: Supercar Customiser, which is much like most other similar car-customization shows, except that Yianni generally goes to work on high-end cars that are owned by the rich and famous. One of the things that the new show did was to perform a survey in which 2,000 people were asked who they thought the most inconsiderate drivers were. 56% of the respondents said that it was BMW M3 drivers. That’s a pretty strong consensus. Meanwhile, an extensive study conducted by Wikilender found that 11.5% of BMW 4 Series and 12.7% of BMW X1s had been involved in reported accidents. Furthermore, the same study found that 5.3% of BMW X1 accidents and 7% of BMW 4 Series accidents went unreported. That’s some pretty solid data, which show that not only do BMW drivers get into a lot of accidents but many of them also don’t report their accidents. It seems that popular opinion about BMW drivers is supported by convincing evidence. Next time you see a BMW around, you're strongly advised to keep your distance.

19 1980s Camaro IROC-Z

The IROC-Z is the third generation of the iconic Chevy Camaro, and these cars started to roll off of the assembly line in 1982. Their popularity peaked in the mid- to late-1980s before production was halted after 1992. Generally speaking, these vehicles were true muscle cars that were designed to go fast, and they were built to last.

Like other classic cars, the Camaro IROC-Z of the 1980s is the type of car that's still sought after, and collectors have been known to pay big bucks for them.

A couple of years ago, a 1990 IROC-Z with just 204 original miles on the odometer hauled in a cool $49,500, while an even mintier one went for $59,400, which is impressive, considering this model had a price tag of just $11,719 when it debuted. The car is sound, reliable, and generally safe, but the same can't seem to be said of the typical IROC-Z driver who's been wreaking havoc on the streets from coast to coast for over 35 years. They love to flood out the sound of their engines by cranking out awful 1980s music as they dangerously weave in and out of traffic at breakneck speed.

18 Any Tricked-out Honda Civic

The Honda Civic has undergone an extreme transformation since it was first introduced in 1972. Initially, these economical compacts weren’t anything special to look at, but by the time the fifth-generation Civic began production in the early 1990s, this car was in demand. In fact, the Honda is one of the bestselling cars on the market these days. To be fair, it isn’t the average Honda Civic owner that we're pointing our fingers at here, but there are definitely a few issues with d-bags who feel it’s necessary to modify them with anything from gullwing doors and spoilers to fake hood scoops and too many lights. Recent models can pack up to 180 hp, which can bring it from a standstill to 60 mph in 7 seconds and a governor-limited top speed of 131 mph. The thing is that most of these modified Civics are older and lower-end models that are owned by younger and more inexperienced idiots who think that they're in a Fast and the Furious movie.

17 Cadillac Escalade

These massive beasts came with big V8s, plenty of horsepower, and luxurious interiors that featured plenty of leather and a pretty decent sound system. Escalade owners don’t seem to mind the fact that these SUVs are about as fuel-efficient as ocean liners and that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety declared that the 2007-08 models boasted the highest rate of fatalities in their class “with a driver death rate of 33 compared to the class average of 15.” Oh well... it thins the herd. It should also be noted that more Cadillac Escalades are stolen than any other vehicle in the United States, according to the Highway Loss Data Institute.

There's no official data to support the theory that Escalade drivers are among the worst offenders when it comes to taking multiple spaces in busy parking lots, tailgating, or double parking on busy streets, but many people have already drawn that very conclusion from personal experience.

We get it—you Escalade drivers have money, you’re really busy, and you don’t think that the rules of basic driving etiquette apply to you. Guess again!

16 Any Generation Hummer

Modeled after the military’s M988 Humvee, which was sort of a successor to the jeep, the Hummer H1 hit the streets in 1992. These monstrous vehicles were designed to be able to follow the tracks of other full-sized military vehicles, so it's little wonder that the sheer size of Hummers poses a threat. Because they're so much bigger than most other vehicles on the road, simple things such as parking, staying in one lane, and even just fitting into a garage can be an issue. Hummers are also rife with blind spots, which make them even more dangerous to others on the road, but these d-bag drivers don’t seem to be too concerned with these criticisms. If you needed any more proof that Hummer drivers are d-bag menaces, then consider the fact that a one-year study discovered that H2 and H3 drivers are ticketed at a rate of five times more than the average driver. Thankfully, these enemies of the environment aren’t made anymore.

15 Mother Earth’s Savior: The Prius

If you're looking for a sporty car with power to spare and all the extras that make driving a pleasure, then you’re probably not looking to purchase a Prius. If you're looking for fuel efficiency, safety, and a relatively boring driving experience, then this hybrid is for you. Hey... Leonardo DiCaprio, David Duchovny, and Miley Cyrus all drive a Prius, so they must be cool cars, right? Wrong! These celebs just have poor taste and are trying to make themselves look like they're leading the way in the battle to save the planet. The average Prius owner will tell you that they bought the car so that they could help the environment, stop relying on gas, and drive at annoyingly slow speeds when they go up a hill. In reality, most Prius owners drive these tin cans because they can’t afford a nicer car or the gas that goes along with driving a nicer car. Save the planet? Save the whales? Save your breath! Paul Piff does research at the Institute of Personality and Social Research at the University of California in Berkeley, and his research led him to say, “In our higher-status vehicle category, Prius drivers had a higher tendency to commit infractions than most.”

14 Most Lexuses on the Road

Dashboard cameras that show drivers what lurks behind them and various sensors that detect when they're getting too close to other objects might seem like great ideas, but they're not without their drawbacks. For instance, drivers begin to rely too much on the technology, and they forget how to do simple things like turn their heads and check their surroundings as they back out of a parking spot. Lexuses certainly come with their fair share of cutting-edge technology that's designed to increase safety. So, why is it that people who drive Lexuses are involved in so many accidents? According to Wikilender, 10.5% of Lexus RX 350s are involved in reported accidents, while 3.8% of them are involved in unreported accidents. That’s a total of 14.4% of all Lexus RX 350s. Then, there are those who drive the Lexus CT 200h, which is another hybrid. 8.7% of those models are in reported accidents, while 5% are involved in unreported accidents, which adds up to 13.6%. Of the top 10 car models that have the highest percentage of accidents, two of them are Lexus models.

13 New-Generation Mini Coopers

Under a few different names, the Mini Cooper has been around since 1959, and it's one of the few vehicles in the world that haven't changed in appearance all that much. There's definitely a striking similarity between the 1959 model and the latest generation, although the newer models are a lot more sporty-looking. Still, compared to other compact sports cars, Mini Coopers are pretty gutless despite the company being owned by BMW. As you may know, BMW drivers are notorious d-bags, so it should come as no surprise that there a lot of d-bags who drive Mini Coopers. How is it possible that a car this small still has difficulty staying between the lines of a parking stall? How come Mini Coopers have so much trouble parallel parking in spots that could fit a school bus? Wait! That isn’t the car’s fault, is it? No. It’s the driver’s fault. One doesn’t need to be all that astute to realize that the Mini Cooper is a “girl’s car.”

12 Pathetic PT Cruisers

There were many fads in the past, such as head binding, Gangnam Style, and those spooky Victorian-age death photos that'll hopefully never make a come back. Another fad that's better off remaining in the past is the PT Cruiser. Chrysler might've had good intentions when they planned to design a car that was a bit of a throwback, but it ended up being a car that you literally wanted to throw back. For some reason, the PT Cruiser got a lot of attention when it was first released, and it even claimed the Motor Trend Car of the Year Award in 2001. By 2010, which was the final year of this not so classic’s production run, the PT Cruiser and those who drove them were considered somewhat of a laughing stock. Did these people actually think that the fake wood paneling was cool? Any guy who gets behind the wheel of one of these things might as well be taking a vow of celibacy. It might seem unbelievable, but there were actually PT Cruiser clubs in existence where these deluded chick magnet wannabes would gather around to share their stories of loneliness and car troubles.

11 New-Generation Volkswagen Beetle

Most of us know that the Volkswagen Beetle is a very popular 2-door car, but not everyone knows that this piece of automotive history was the brainchild of one of history’s most reviled men. It was Adolf Hitler who originally formulated this iconic automobile in the late 1930s so that Germans could own a cheap and simple car to navigate Germany’s new road network. While the first Beetles rolled off the assembly line in 1938, it wasn’t until 1945 that the Beetle was mass produced. Fast forward 80 years, and there have been over 21 million Volkswagen Beetles produced, making it the longest-running and most-manufactured single-platform car ever built.

The car has evolved in leaps and bounds from its original 25 hp engine that propelled the Beetle to a sluggish 62 mph, but the look remains largely the same.

While they're still known to be rather fuel efficient, there's just something that doesn’t feel right when you see one drive by. It’s not so much that these cars lack machismo—because they definitely do. It’s just that driving one of these around kind of pays tribute to one of the evilest men the world has ever seen.

10 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class Coupe

So, you want to drive a Mercedes-Benz so that you can join the ranks of other Mercedes-Benz owners who drive around like totally oblivious d-bags? The unfortunate problem has always been that most of these vehicles will break the average person's bank account. Sure, you could buy a Metris or a Sprinter, but those vans will make you look like some kind of soccer mom and are a far cry from the sporty piece of German engineering that you're after. Well, you now have an alternative in the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class. Ringing it at about $34,000, this model allows any aspiring d-bag of modest means to live the d-bag dream. The CLA-Class allows you to affordably drive the same brand of car that d-bags like Justin Bieber, Kanye West, and most of the Kardashians drive.

9 Lamborghini Aventador

Well, it was just a matter of time before the Lamborghini made an appearance on the list. This company has been making some of the world's fastest vehicles on the planet since it was founded in 1963. Their main purpose was to compete with other established marques like Ferrari, and they've achieved their goal. It was the introduction of the Miura coupe in 1966 that put them on the map, and several generations later, they remain near the top of the speed food chain.

One model that has become extremely popular among the affluent is the Lamborghini Aventador, which has been in production since 2011.

All sorts of rich people drive these things to show how rich and above the law they are. Some of the more common owners include athletes who've signed their first big contract, entertainers who suddenly strike it rich who just like to rub their d-baggery in our faces. A basic Aventador will run you at least $450,000.

8 Mitsubishi Lancer

If you're swimming at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and you see a shark, you'd probably panic and get out of the water as soon as possible. If you're driving on any road and you see a Mitsubishi Lancer, then you should probably employ the same plan of retreat. Get as far away from it as possible! These cars are one of the preferred automobiles of young Formula 1 racer wannabes everywhere, as they're totally affordable. You definitely don't want to be sharing the road with one of these that sport modifications such as rear spoilers or idiotic custom paint jobs. There's an old saying about how a little bit of intelligence is a dangerous thing, and the same can be said about the power of a Lancer. A little bit of power is actually more dangerous, especially if it's in the hands of a young driver who's been unleashed on the highway. Lancer drivers get a thrill out of making dangerous passing maneuvers while traveling at high speeds, but they often try to overtake faster vehicles like Buicks, Hondas, and some semi-trailers, which causes all sorts of problems.

7 Any 4x4 With a Lift Kit and Big Tires That's Never Been Off-Road

4x4 trucks are quite popular among those who like to get away and hit the back roads without worrying about getting stuck. There are also those who live in areas where snow and other problems call for owning such a vehicle. Some 4x4 owners even get really dirty by challenging the most intimidating barriers on seemingly impassable roads, but then, there are those who drive monster 4x4s just because they're complete d-bags. Many people theorize that the latter group is trying to compensate for something else, and maybe those speculators are right.

Either way, those who drive monster trucks that have never even seen a gravel road are deserving of scorn.

You often see these people overturned in residential areas or hung up on smaller cars in parking lots. They love to take up multiple parking spaces, including spots reserved for handicapped people. These drivers have never even switched it out of two-wheel drive, and a lot of them don’t even know how or when to do it. Thankfully, the price of gas is rising like the morning sun, which makes these things less affordable to drive.

6 Range Rover Evoque

Range Rovers are mainly associated with newly monied drivers who lack true class. These snobby drivers somehow become dumbed down with every passing second they spend behind the wheel, and they don’t hesitate to endanger others by operating their steering wheel with one knee as they roll down the highway texting, updating their Instagram, and stirring their mochaccinos with their silver spoons. These vehicles have become a status symbol, which irked Spen King, who was a prominent figure with the Rover Company. Even King mocked Range Rover owners who drove their SUVs in urban areas. He further stated that Range Rovers were "never intended as a status symbol, but later incarnations of my design seem to be intended for that purpose." Aside from being toffee-nosed d-bags, Range Rover drivers are among the most dangerous, and this statement is particularly true of Range Rover Evoque drivers. The Wikilender report that we've referred to a few times already found that 10.9% of Range Rover Evoques had been in a reported accident, while 5.6% of them had suffered damage in unreported accidents. That adds up to 16.5% of Range Rover Evoques getting into accidents. It seems that popular opinion is backed by statistics.

5 Jaguars, Especially XJs

Nothing upsets a Jaguar owner more than when you refer to their vehicle as a “Jag-war.” They grimace and wince in pain like they’ve just been kicked in the nether regions before correcting your pronunciation. “It’s a Jag-eww-ar!” they’ll say. Whatever.

Jaguar XJs have been around since 1968 and have often been the car of choice for the most elite snobs like the British royal family and the Prime Minister of the UK.

Thankfully, the aforementioned upper-class twits usually have chauffeurs. Then, there are the Jaguar owners who have enough money to afford one of these fine cars but not enough cash to hire a driver. Or maybe they’re just too cheap. Either way, these drivers are right up there when it comes to being a menace to our roads, and the good folks at Wikilender have provided the evidence. Their research, which looked at over 2.4 million cars, found that 8.2% of Jaguar XJs that are 2009 models or newer had been involved in reported accidents. That study also found that 7.5% of Jaguar XJs had been in unreported accidents. That means a total of 15.7% of Jaguar XJs are involved in accidents, and nearly half of those go unreported.

4 A Lot of Infiniti Drivers

Infiniti is Nissan’s luxury division, and they began selling to the North American market in 1989. Coincidentally, there were 45,582 car-related fatalities in the United States that year, and we haven’t seen that many ever since. Infiniti models are fairly competitively priced, and they offer good selections of sports cars and SUVs. SUV and crossover models such as the JX and the QX60 are quite popular among the soccer-mom types who need plenty of seating but not a lot of head space for the kids that are on board. Naturally, a car full of kids is also a car full of distractions, which is, perhaps, one of the reasons that Infiniti drivers are involved in a lot of accidents. 8% of Infinity QX60s have been involved in reported crashes, while 5.5% of them have been in unreported accidents. Also, 9.3% of Infinity JX models have been in reported accidents, while 5.4% of them have been in unreported accidents. What makes owners of these models so loathsome is the fact that these vehicles have great crash-test ratings for the drivers, but the same can’t be said when it comes to the passengers who, in this case, are usually children.

3 Audi A5

Some people really get off on displaying expensive name brands because it gives them a sense of superiority, and Audi drivers fit this description well. Audi is a German car manufacturer that's been making luxury vehicles since the company was relaunched in 1965. The Audi A5 model was introduced in 2007, and it's described as an executive coupe car, which is also available in cabriolet and “Sportback” form. These models are soundly built, sporty-looking, and perform very well. Their 2.0-liter engine pushes 252 horses, which take these machines from 0-60 mph in 5 seconds flat and to a top speed of 129 mph. The problem with people who get behind the wheel of one of these things is that they seem to instantly turn into d-bags. They might not be on the same level of d-baggery as Lamborghini or BMW drivers, but they aren’t too far behind. These people race their engines even when they're at a standstill. They're also the first ones to have a raging meltdown behind the wheel when they're stuck in a traffic jam. It’s been found that 14.2% of Audi A5s have been involved in car accidents, which makes Audi A5 drivers one of the biggest dangers on the road.

2 Old Folks in Cadillacs, Especially the ATS

Owning a Cadillac has been a dream for millions of people ever since they came into production in 1902. These cars have almost always been synonymous with fine taste, luxury, and reliability. Cadillacs are popular with a wide variety of people, but there's a certain demographic that sends a chill down our collective spines when we see them behind the wheel of one of these luxury land yachts: old folks.

Did you know that about 33% of new Cadillacs are bought by people who are 65 and over?

Many of these people have worked hard throughout their lives and have rewarded their achievements by purchasing a Cadillac that they can spend their golden years driving in comfort and style. The problem is that their driving skills are often somewhat diminished, and that puts others at risk. Have you ever seen a senior try to parallel park one of these beasts? Are they capable of even coming close to reaching the speed limit? It turns out that the Cadillac ATS is one of the most likely vehicles to be involved in an accident. In fact, 14.2% of these cars have been in an accident.

1 Porsches, Especially 718 Boxsters

If you do a quick Google search of “Porsche” + “Douche,” you'll get 439,000 results. Just think about that for a second—doesn’t that seem to be a pretty large number of hits?  When you see a $400,000 Lamborghini Aventador or a $300,000 Ferrari 812 Superfast ripping down the road, you might think that those drivers are snobs, but they're obviously snobs who have big bank accounts. Contrast those drivers with the guy who's behind the wheel of a 718 Boxster. That guy is simply trying to use the brand name to impress us, but we know that he paid less than the cost of most Audis, Infinitis, and Mercedes-Benz models. We know that he just wants us to think he’s rich despite the fact that he maxed out his credit to purchase the car. Nonetheless, he drives a Porsche, which theoretically entitles him to burn down residential streets and dangerously drive into oncoming highway traffic to pass other vehicles even when he has an open outside lane.
