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The Forbes article seems to be citing numbers that are now a few weeks out of date.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

Why does Massachusetts have such aggressive drivers? That seems like a large deviation for such a small state

It’s mostly urban though. 7 million isn’t that small and it shouldn’t affect something expressed as a rate anyway.
