I’ve seen the stereotype of Altima owners being bad/dangerous drivers around the internet a few times, and I’m curious as to how it developed… The Altima always struck me as a pretty typical mid-size sedan, so I’m not sure what about it would attract a higher proportion of bad drivers over other similar vehicles, or why people would zero in on bad Altima drivers over anyone else.
Since I’ve learned of the stereotype, I have periodically noticed Altima drivers doing stupid things, but I also see a lot of Altimas and a lot of dumb drivers in general, so I haven’t been able to tell if the incidence of bad drivers in Altimas is higher than the norm.
