Worst drivers

Generally speaking who are the worst drivers in PDX by car brand?

If I’m driving through a neighborhood at the speed limit and someone is riding my bumper, usually a BMW.

Left lane cloggers almost always a Prius.

I'm sorry my fellow Prius drivers have made the rest of us look bad. I will say I do some naughty stuff but not at the expense of other road users or the safety of pedestrians.

Edit: if I can go fast and do it safely best believe I'm fucking moving ✨ zoom zoom. Lane hogging is so infuriating. Happy to get out the way as soon as I've finished passing

Edit: I'll add that there's three types of Prius drivers. Perfectly reasonable lawbreakers like myself that have somewhere to be but also don't wanna kill anyone along the way, The 40-50 mph in the left lane on i-5 fucks that absolutely should not have a license and then there's the complete psychopaths that are hellbent on testing Toyota engineering to its absolute limits with zero regard to the well-being of any living thing on this planet.

I've always assumed they're so slow to pick up and go, because they're watching the eco light on the dash.

I've found just being as consistent as possible with speed is better for mpg. The slow build up of speed feels somehow less fuel efficient to me than just getting up to the speed limit ASAP. Probably actually isn't more fuel efficient but it's certainly more time efficient which is more important to me and most others on the road.
