TL;DR Summary

Tesla drivers in the U.S. had the highest accident rate among all vehicle brands, with 24 accidents per 1,000 drivers over the past year, according to a study by LendingTree. BMW drivers were found to have the highest rate of driving under the influence (DUI), with about 3 DUIs per 1,000 drivers. Ram drivers had the highest overall incident rate, which included accidents, DUIs, speeding, and other citations. The study suggests that certain types of vehicles may attract riskier drivers. These incidents can lead to higher insurance rates, with one speeding ticket increasing rates by 10% to 20%, accidents by around 40%, and DUIs by 60% or more.
