Top 10 Cars Most Likely to Get a Speeding Ticket

Whoever said that out of control teenagers are the greatest threat to drivers out there better read this report released by verisk analytics about a month ago. " The study examines which vehicles makes and models are more likely to get a ticket. The results are based on the number of tickets per 100,000 miles driven.

On top of the list is the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. The average driver for the car is 52 and I say if you can afford the $102,600 car, you can afford the tickets.



The third vehicle most likely to get a ticket is the Scion TC and the average driver is 30 years-old although the car is marketed to first-time buyers. These cars are pretty common on the street and many on them are modified. There is a wide range of aftermarket parts for it and even Tanner Foust races a heavily moded one.



This is the list of the 10 most likely cars to get a ticket:

  1. Mercedez-Benz SL-Class
  2. Toyota Camry/Solara
  3. Scion TC
  4. Hummer H2/H3
  5. Scion XB
  6. Mercedez-Benz CLS-63 AMG
  7. Acura Integra
  8. Pontiac Grand Prix
  9. Mercedez-Benz CLK 63 AMG
  10. Volkswagen GTI
Some of these cars are not the speeding bullets that one sees on the road everyday. I was expecting to see more aggressive vehicles such as the Subaru WRX STI or even Nissan's 350Z model. What makes the Toyota Camry/Solara number two on the list? One could assume that it is a pretty common car but so are the Honda Accord and Civic and they are not in the top 10.

These are the 10 vehicles least likely to receive a ticket.
  1. Buick Rainier
  2. Mazda Tribute
  3. Chevrolet C/K - 3500/2500
  4. Kia Spectra
  5. Buick Lacrosse
  6. Saturn Aura Hybrid
  7. Oldsmobile Silhouette
  8. Chevrolet Uplander
  9. Hyundai Tucson
  10. Pontiac Vibe


The lowest average age for any car in the top 10 most likely to be ticketed is the TC's 30 year-old average driver. So what's all the buzz about teenagers and people in their twenties driving like maniacs? I say the octane-driven desire does not discriminate based on age. Young or old, man or woman we rev or die!

i think camry is on there bc theres so many of them. true enough there are alot of civics out there, however theyre just not fast enough lol. I did see the integra which is acura's version of civic on the list though. And that is also another often heavily modded car. and this is the same list that forbes realeased 2months ago. also I think johnny is speaking gibberish because he was traumautized on a recent roadtrip where a mythological creature from a fictional novel turned into movie flashed him.
