There seems to be a survey for everything these days.
Insurance.com, a car insurance comparison-shopping website, recently conducted a study to rank the cars that get the most tickets.
Obviously, cars don’t get tickets for traffic violations, drivers do, but those drivers apparently like certain vehicle models.
According to the study, which looked at data from 526 models and more than 557,000 recent customers, here are the “ticket magnet” cars – those that get the most tickets:
Rank/Make and model/percent with tickets
1. Subaru WRX – 33.6 percent
2. Pontiac GTO – 32.7 percent
3. Scion FR-S – 32.6 percent
4. Toyota Supra – 30.8 percent
5. Subaru Tribeca – 29.7 percent
6. Volkswagen Rabbit – 29.6 percent
7. Mercury Topaz – 28.8 percent
8. Scion tC – 28.8 percent
9. Toyota FJ Cruiser – 28.4 percent
10. Mazda2 – 28.1 percent
11. Hyundai Veloster – 28.1 percent
12. Volkswagen GTI – 28.1 percent
13. Suzuki Reno – 28.1 percent
14. Scion xA – 27.8 percent
15. Pontiac G8 – 27.7 percent
16. MINI Cooper S Countryman – 27.5 percent
17. Mitsubishi 3000 GT – 27.4 percent
18. Saturn Aura – 27.1 percent
19. Infiniti QX56/QX80 – 27.1 percent
20. Toyota Prius C – 27.0 percent
“It’s not about horsepower,” says Des Toups, managing editor, Insurance.com. “The Chevrolet Corvette, Dodge Viper and Nissan GT-R rank well below average for tickets even though they can easily double the highest speed limits. But those cars are also costly, so their buyers tend to be older and take fewer risks.”
