Interesting. There's a couple of cars on there that I thought would be on the opposite list.

I value that list more for the "least ticketed" vehicles than the most ticketed ones because of that "most ticketed" list you can simply justify why they're on that list.

There's 3 mercedes on there...while I don't like to group people together, a lot of people I see driving mercedes cars aren't always the greatest drivers. Nothing against anyone on here who may drive one...

The Toyota Camry is because there's a ton of them on the road. They also frequently appear in the top 10 most stolen cars too. Maybe the same reason for the Integra, I see a lot of them on the road for some reason.

Pontiac Grand Prix's have big engines when you consider their size and style of car. People probably drive them that way too.

I don't have a clue about the Scions, in fact, I rarely even see any of them, anywhere. And the Hummer is pretty self-explanatory, I think...

Looks. LEOs have a tendency to go after sports cars. Compare the #1s from both of the lists:

I'm glad I drive a BMW 3 series. I am surprised that this didn't end up on the list though.

Haha... My mom drives a rainier and she's never been ticketed! That's probably cause she drives so freakin slow.

Scion's are cop magnets!

I can see how hummers are on there. It was higher up on a list I read a year ago. It probably has to do with the driver: Most hummer drivers drive like assholes! I'm surprised range rovers or X5's didn't make the list. I rarely see those driving the limit.

The list makes a lot of sense.

Most people that can afford a SL class convertible (minimum of 100K) does not care about tickets because thats what their lawyer is for.

Mercedes AMG's are meant to be driven fast and there owners make sure to do that.

Totally agree on the driving habits of people in Hummer H2s.

And my thinking on Scion TC is that a lot of young people drive them (cheap) such as first time drivers and they tend to speed and attract the attention of law enforcement.

krypton2 is totally right that the Toyota Solara is high up just because of the number on the road.
