Interesting stuff. My car isn’t on either list, but then, I’m driving an eleven-year-old Mercury Sable; I imagine it’s pretty low on list of cars driven by those prone to traffic tickets…

My current car (I drive an Audi A4 — does that make me a d**k?) is on the most ticketed list, but my previous car (Mazda 6) is on the least ticketed list.

Interesting. I own 3 of the vehicles on this list. I have gotten tickets in my Subaru Outback, I have not gotten tickets in either my Mazda6 or Chevy 2500.

So I guess my experience matches these stats.

My ex owns two scions and he gets more tickets than anyone I’ve ever met. So no surprises there. lol.

I think the ford and some other vehicles are removed simply because there are so many on the road that the results get diluted.

I think this is judging demographics of the stereotypical driver of the vehicles more than it is the vehicle itself, not to say the results are not interesting.

I and really can not stand the scion box vehicle, it makes the whole line of their stuff ugly in my mind, no offense to you Karen.

So I should trade in the ’01 Nissan Maxima for my parents’ Buick? No wonder they haven’t had any speeding tickets in decades! Well, that, and my tendency to drive speeds that are acceptable by Montana law enforcement )

I can see why the Hummer brand is on there. It just gets noticed, but I am surprised by the Subaru making the list. Maybe it’s different shape just makes it stand out??

I think it’s hilarious that 3 out of 4 Scion models made it on the top ticketed list. You have a good point about them being driven by a lot of young drivers. We own 2 Scions and no tickets in them yet! I am also a little surprised to not see any Chevy or Fords on the top list though… I see a lot of Ford trucks flying by me on the highway often.
