Tickets to 10 vehicles most often

10 ticket target vehicles

Getting a ticket doesn’t make for a good day. Everybody gets tickets though. For each and every 100,000 miles driven, .23 tickets are given on average. Certain automobiles tend to drive that average up — though whether it is because of the drivers or the automobile is difficult to say. Based on an average of tickets issued in 2007 and 2008, these are the 10 automobiles ticketed most often within the United States.

10- There’s the Toyota Matrix

Drivers in a Toyota Matrix, on average, received 2.64 times more tickets than most drivers. With .6 tickets given to this car for each and every 100,000 miles driven, it is just the first Toyota on this list.

The Audi A4 is ninth

As the Audi A4 is speedy and quite cheap, those who buy it tend to be younger with terrible driving habits.

Eighth on the list is the Subaru Outback

All-weather capability and hauling capacity combined apparently is the perfect recipe for a ticket. For every 100,000 miles, this car gets .62 tickets as they’re easy to see on any road.

7- The Scion xA

Concentrated in urban environments, where tickets tend to be more common, the Scion xA tends to clock in at about .63 tickets per 100,000 miles.

6 – Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG

This car has 2.76 more tickets received than average with the 500-horsepower it receives.

5-The Toyota Camry Solara

This car is given to a wide variety of individuals and has a sun roof and two doors. These cars get tickets 2.95 times more often than the normal driver.

The Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG is fourth

This car seems to get quite a bit more tickets. It has high horse power and gets 3.97 more tickets than the normal driver.

The Scion xB is third

The car looks super boxy making it noticeable and gets four times more, or 1 ticket for every 100.000 miles, than the normal driver.

2- It’s the Scion tC

4.6 times more tickets than average are given to drivers of this car. 1.05 tickets are given every 100,000 miles this car decides to travel.

1 – Hummer H2/H3

Driving a hummer makes you fairly likely to get a ticket. It is unclear whether it directly correlates with the car or with the personality type buying the car, but one thing is clear; drivers of Hummers get much more tickets than anything else.

The least-ticketed car within the study? It is going to be the Jaguar XJ Sedan.
