Whaaaat I would have guessed Ram

Ram drivers had the highest overall incident rate

Ah there it is.

Betcha Ford F150 had the highest rate of needless tailgating and absurd lifting.

Tbf it is one of the most popular vehicles on American roads so there are dozens of them to every ram and probably a hundred to every bmw

It's per 1000 drivers (at least in OP's example). Doesn't matter how many are on the road that's factored out.

BMW vs RAM for DUI, my guess: location location location.

Demographics would likely (guess) lean towards the same type of driver in different locales. One where drinking and driving "is just a thing people do" and one where its more enforced.
