      A common joke over here is that BMWs don’t come with the turn signal installed because their drivers are stereotyped as bad drivers who don’t signal.

      I run into plenty of them anecdotally, and I can’t say if I see them any more often than not

      From my time in Japan, the driving manners there are a world away from other western countries, but I think the difference is marketing and customers.

      For decades BMW has been marketed in the angloshpere (US,UK,AUS,NZ,CAN) as The Ultimate Driving Machine and this has attracted the type of customer who see themselves as would be race drivers. Every car trip is a race and every other car is a competitor who must be passed.
