" 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) "

Haha. You gotta be kidding me!

[moomooCow]

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...

[shenmecar]

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.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

lol
hummer, wat about escalade~!! they gotta be in top 10
range rover?

solara, there is hardly any of those on the street

Its based on Americans. Noticed how every car Scion made was in the top 10. LOL.

EDIT: Almost every car, forgot one, the xD

[Blinky]

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.

[Sp3cial_K]

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

[Nvasion]

range rovers,bmw

[thumper]

this list is full of fail.... seriously, a solara?!? every time i see one it's being driven by some old bluehair. what are they getting ticketed for? driving too slow?

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

^

probably lol


i never seen a solara gunning it...not even once


:haha:

[TRDood]

where is the data set from?

the probably got it from a city that have 90% of the people driving solaras.. hahah

[penner2k]

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.

[Nightwalker]

Bullshit, where are the minivans?

[ilvtofu]

Oh wow the toyota solara?!?!?
Does that apply in vancouver? I'd imagine they are pretty much invisible :rolleyes:
Kinda shocked about the scion XB that thing has like 100 hp only!

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

[Alpine]

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.

Isn't it only Vancouver and very few other places where front tint is illegal?

[jello24]

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

[!Aznboi128]

pulled over for what tho?

i mean I'm sure civic should be there somewhere

[wnderinguy]

A few States too and those that allow it have limited % allowed,I've even seen a few forums where people are pissed that they are getting ticketed for windshield tinting.Seems no matter what the Law " is " some whiner is gonna push the limit and then complain when they get caught ,but seriously windshield tint:rofl:

[Drift_Monkey]

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

[zulutango]

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.

[Nitrous5.0]

i been driving a hummer h2 for over a year and not one ticket

[q0192837465]

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

[you!]

that link is full of bs

j/k ;)

If someone should learn anything from this post, its "The faster you go, the less likely you are caught!!!"

YAY!

[mj.rx7]

these are hilarious, I usually don't see these vehicles pulled over at all

[604NIGHTHAWK]

im surprised the acura tl isnt up there
i been ticketed 5 times since i got this car last year

[BMW135i]

hard to believe, mostly toyota.......lol

[!SG]

stats are probably based in the US. i think the solara is pretty popular down there.
