Also women seem to be driving a lot more aggressively than men. Especially those of a certain age driving the afore mentioned SUV's.

I just got honked this morning by someone for waiting for the car in front of me to turn right. There was only one lane so I could have either waited or drove over the guy in front.
Beautiful hand gestures were sent towards me and I was not sure if I should run over the car in front of me or pull over on pavement for the one behind can save ever valuable 5 seconds.
I choose to send back a grin further annoying person behind me.

I noticed that a few years ago on holiday in Portugal. Cars with Belgian plates seemed to be driven by total lunatics. And in a part of the country where traffic was largely not a problem.

That's actually funny. Though we see a lot of bad drivers here, like in any other country, we actually consider ourselves not so bad drivers at all. I've been around the world and don't find any nation particularly good in driving. If one, I find myself not a bad driver. I keep my distance, obey traffic rules, drive defensively and politely. I've seen drivers far, far, far worse in most other European countries.
My worst experience (didn't drive myself here luckily) was Peru, but very closely followed by Malaysia (did drive here) and Italy (did drive here as well). In Italy the best way to explain their driving skills is by saying the rules a nearly suggestions instead of actual rules.

Not only for driving - ANY rule is a suggestion: laws, taxes, driving, school, work... And when it is not, then there is a way to completely twist the rule so that it has no effect. It is the main point of Italian mentality, to which I'm partly alien and partly inside it.

Malaysia was an easy drive; for me. Egypt can offer some interesting challenges, I believe the highway code there is simply drive in the shade and honk your horn constantly.

I find the worse drivers are those who aint concentrating because they're to busy compiling lists of the worst drivers.

I see you're using DENSE_RANK[^] instead of RANK[^].
Normally, you would count the number of items that are ranked higher - if two makes are joint second, the next should be fourth, not third.
You also forgot to start the list at 0.
4. Merc
3. BMW [a rare drop from the top]
1=. VW
1=. Skoda
0. Audi

I have had a couple of situations like that, with my family. Someone was watching out for you and your family, and it sure wasn't Dave.

Several years ago after receiving a speeding ticket, I decided that would be the last one and now refuse to go any faster than the posted limit. As for those rude, impatient drivers who flash their lights, honk their horns, or get so close that you can't even see their headlights, I have four words for 'em. Have a nice day! 
There are benefits, besides no tickets, for not speeding...the wife can't stand it and insists that you are allowed 7 mph over the posted limit, so she does most of the driving!

It will be a pleasure to think of a clue. It may possibly be offensive to the entire country of Belgium.

They do deserve it: they named the whole country after the rudest word in the entire universe.

I heard this phrase recently and it struck a chord. As software developers we are passionate about what we do, trying to build the best solutions we can with the tools at our disposal. We try to employ good software practices through the use of design patterns, abstractions, re-usability, loose coupling etc. We try to come up with the best design we can to fit the problem at hand.
When we blindly implement whatever can of spaghetti is asked of us, then we have reached the point of software bankruptcy. Anything goes, no matter how much of a maintenance nightmare it might produce, no matter how big the ball of mud it will create.
Pressure from the business to meet a deadline is often the trigger for bankrupt software. But equally, we need to stand firm and make a stand for quality. If we fail in that task, can we really call ourselves professionals?
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare
