| The most ticketed vehicles
" When it comes to getting tickets, drivers of these vehicles don’t have great luck. Note that while the Scion brand is not sold in Canada, it will be launching here next year. Watch the slideshow to count down the most ticketed vehicles. (Photo: Toyota) " http://autos.ca.msn.com/photos/galle...0622620&page=1

Haha. You gotta be kidding me!

Wow, I'm surprised there are no BMWs/Porches?
I'm also curious how they arrived at their top 10... did they just look at all the tickets and filter out the results? That seems kinda flawed...

If you drive a Hummer, you are 4.63x more likely to get ticketed than an average driver.
Probably because people who drive Hummers are drug dealers.

Not a very useful (or rather, telling) link.
Many of the cars listed have a young driving demographic, so it's probably more the driver than the car. The two AMGs should be so rare that a few tickets or a few reckless drivers throw off their "statistical" methods.

well scions are usually bought by younger people..who probably tend to speed more often..hence the high ratings

I can believe it. After not getting a ticket for like 10 years I bought my Scion and have gotten 2 and a warning. I've slowed down a lot since I got the Scion too. The last 10 years it should have been excessive speeding tickets. Lately I've slowed down cuz it seems like drivers are getting worse and I cant just go boot around anymore without worrying about someone hitting me.

Doesn't say ticketed for speeding though? I imagine front window tint would be one highly ticketed violation.

Interesting that the Scions made the list... The actual demographic that buys Scion products ARE NOT young people. In fact the actual profile is that of a middle aged to older/senior person.. which might just provide more fodder for re-testing the driving abilities of the older population.

Hummers make sense, Scions due to the young drivers, but what about the Subaru Outback...? that was way out in left field there...

i didn't look at the website, but it really depends how common the cars are on the road.
there's probably not a lot of ferraris on the road that get ticketed compared to any corrollas out there

All sorts of questions come to mind. Where was the study done? When was it done? What kind of tickets were issued? What laws were being broken? How come virtually none of the cars commonly owned by RS members are listed? Where are the 5.0 Stangs? Something to remember that the car is not the thing breaking whatever law...it's the dirver. Amusing to look at but does not reflect anything like what happens here at all.

take these "studies" with a grain of salt. At the speed they compile these "tests", it's never gonna be accurate.
