    Default It's not really the speed but the car!!

    A very interesting article in the LA Y Times online this morning.

    I'm glad I have a Lexus ES350.

    Drivers of the Mercedes-Benz SL Class roadster were more than 400% more likely to get a ticket than the average for drivers ofall vehicles. Camry-Solara drivers were second at 349% and Scion TC drivers were third at 343%.

    These cars make excellent rabbits. Solaras usually don't have any visible CM's and the scion is most likely to have a pos cobra dangling on the WS.

    They should rename this to "The Rabbit List."

    Pity there are no statistics on which cars attract attention but don't necessarily get ticketed. A Corvette isn't in the top 5, but mine definitely seems to be a LEO magnet. They stare and they follow, hoping to find some reason to pull me over. This crap never happens when I'm driving my Civic.

    Quality Planning surmises that the propensity to get cited for a violation is linked to how one drives, and that’s expressed in the autos people choose.
    Quoted for emphasis...
