If you were in an accident what car would most likely be involved?

According to Wikilender, 11.5 percent of BMW 4 Series models have reported accident damage, and another 7.0 percent were found to have damage that was either never reported to the insurance company or by a body shop doing repair work. With a total of 18.5 percent, the 4 Series is the most often damaged vehicle in America.
   #2 on this list is also a BMW and the next 8 are all luxury cars.  It would seem odd at first that cars built for luxury with all the latest gizmos for safety built in would be the most likely cars to be in an accident and not cars like Mustangs that are built for speed and purchased by younger drivers but if you were driv9ng on the interstate at the posted speed limit everyone would be passing you but if you were driving eight miles an hour over the posted speed limit, the cars most likely to pass you would be a BMW.  Seriously.
  I drive to and from Hickory on a regular basis and the cars whizzing by me are more likely an expensive car.  One of my favorite sayings is "they are smart enough to earn enough money to buy one but to stupid to drive one".  I make that statement about drivers of expensive cars because they are the people doing the most idiotic things on the roads.  I don't know if it is because they think the costly cars will protect them from harm or if they think they are special and thereby more privileged on the roadways   but drivers of expensive cars tend to be more pushy on the roadways and streets of America.
