Top Five Cars Most Likely To Get A Traffic Ticket!
According to Forbes Magazine contrary to popular belief, drivers in red cars don't get ticketed more often than their less-flashy comrades. Middle-aged males with a thing for foreign brands, on the other hand, had better watch out!
To determine the cars most likely to get a ticket, Quality Planning's analysts department with Forbes Magazine looked at traffic violation data from February 2009 through February 2010, counting the number of violations racked up by different car models. To account for the difference in number of cars on the road, they averaged the violation count per 100,000 miles driven. Vehicles that have been discontinued for more than 10 years were not included in the analysis!
Here are the following lists;
Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
