Fact or cap? Post says luxury-car drivers are more likely to cut you off

Do Mercedes and BMW drivers really cut people off more? Juice Unlocked put the question to its followers Aug. 29, 2025, in a partner post for Top Dog Law.

The caption says a UC Berkeley study found drivers of high-end cars cut people off twice as often, and that nearly half do not yield at crosswalks. The graphic's headline goes further, saying Mercedes and BMW drivers are five times more likely to cut you off in traffic.

The numbers don't line up

The post does not name the study, its authors or the year, and its two figures, 2x in the caption and 5x on the graphic, contradict each other. Neither number could be independently confirmed for this article, so treat both as the post's claims, not settled fact.

The caption asked followers whether it was "fact or cap," and the post drew 68 comments.
