That road behaviour example is lame.

 

But I fully agree that successful/upper class people tend to break rules more than the normal folks.

Actually there is another explanation other than "Greed".

 

Those successful/upperclass people tend to be in power or in positions of control, thus they know the rules inside out to the point of being lured to break them from time to time. They think they know the rules so well as to avoid being caught.

 

Familiarity of rules breeds contempt of those rules.

I disagree with the assumption in their research is that upper class tends to drive bigger cars.

Oh I see... that means I can get many ghosts to work for me as the ghost currency (hell banknotes) is 'cheap' in SGD terms.
