Statistics Men Vs. Women talking their way out of tickets

Surprising sweet-talkers

Some try to weasel their way out of a ticket when they see those flashing lights in the rearview mirror -- and the culprits may surprise you.

A national survey conducted by Response Insurance, a car insurance company, showed that drivers with more money, more children, higher education, more testosterone and those who talk on cell phones while driving are more likely to try talking their way out of a ticket.

A couple of statistics that the survey revealed:

• 22 percent of men versus 13 percent of women attempt talking their way out of a speeding ticket.

• 20 percent of college-educated drivers will try to get out of a ticket, while less than 10 percent of those without a high school diploma will attempt it.
