This rather ridiculous story comes from CNN.
"If you drive an expensive car you're probably a jerk, scientists say."
The science is looking pretty unanimous on this one: Drivers of expensive cars are the worst.
A new study has found that drivers of flashy vehicles are less likely to stop and allow pedestrians to cross the road -- with the likelihood they'll slow down decreasing by 3% for every extra $1,000 that their vehicle is worth.
Science. How did they come to this conclusion? They came to this conclusion after asking volunteers to cross a sidewalk hundreds of times, filming and analyzing the responses by car drivers.
I don't know if this is true or not, but plenty of drivers in all sorts of vehicles no matter the price don't slow down for pedestrians..in my non-scientific experience. I might be better if scientists spent more time looking into this Carona Virus thing. On an other note, is it spelled Caronavirus, or Coronavirus? I see both throughout the day.
I also saw this last night. The virus is not funny, but this is kind of clever.
