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.
They have a lot of space for the price and last a long time after being bought used, so they are quite popular among the crowd that insists on driving with one arm and the seat reclined all the way flat because sitting up straight is gay or something.
I seem to have issues with clapped out Altima’s not signaling and zipping in and out of traffic more than BMWs or other luxury brands.
The Altimas turn signals simply don’t work. The driver is unaware.
The BMWs signals work fine. The driver just thinks they are too good to use turn signals.
Altima’s what?
Altima is not signaling.

For me I think this one Altima has a largely similar commute time and path I do, because it seems it’s always the same guy.

Having a car that’s all one color and/or has all parts intact and securely fastened: also gay
