FR-S, One of the Most Ticketed Cars in USA?!

[sofargone561]

Its because its cheap enough for some kids to get as a first car. I would be interested to see what age the majority of those tickets written where. Not to say older guys don't get tickets but i know when i was 16/17 i could care less about a ticket now (9 tickets later) I'm extra careful.

Yeah, us young people won't be able to afford such a machine.

Obviously from drivers/cars...but ALL of them?

The page with the rankings says that the data came from "550,000 insurance quotes for drivers just like you." So there's definitely a margin of error considering that the tickets might not have been verified.

Police records.
Don't know about states but up here all that info is made available to the Insurance Companies.

Tagging someone who is going 100+ mph on a public road is being hateful or bored?

Very important to understand that this is percentage of DRIVERS per car not percentage of cars!
The rarer the car the higher the percentage would be with fewer drivers in the pool.
If the one guy with a 1936 Bugatti in the states got a ticket the rate for that car would be 100%.
Explains how the numbers can look so odd for some of the cars.

Well, to be fair, 100+ is definitely pushing it. I'm just saying, you are much more likely to get ticketed around here due to the amount of bored cops on quotas that treat "speeders" like criminals. And the highway speed limits are much lower than anywhere else in the country here, despite having 6 perfect lanes, walls dividing the directions and completely flat land with miles of visibility... They are just so desperate for easy money.

I'm sure someone will say this isn't true but I drove through New Mexico a few times and everyone, even family vans, was going over 100mph. It was as if they had 0 concern that there would ever be a cop pulling them over. But speed itself isn't an issue, it's when you have low speeds and people clumping up together that you run a high risk of accidents.

I had a Civic SI SEDAN for seven years without a ticket or even being pulled over, and then bought the BRZ. Within three months of owning the BRZ, I had a ticket. My driving habits did not change.


I know a cop and he tells me they 'profile' all the time...
