The science is looking pretty unanimous on this one: Drivers of expensive cars are the worst.

Researchers have tracked hundreds of cars at pedestrian crossings in the United States, where the law forces drivers to stop. Thus, they found that the likelihood of those driving cheaper cars to stop to allow pedestrians to cross is higher than for expensive cars. On average, the value of cars that stop at pedestrian crossings is $ 5,900, while the average value of those who have not stopped rises to $ 8,000.

Most drivers don’t follow it.
