The Off Topic Chill Thread
#636
Found this in an article on MSN.com. Thought it was interesting that people who drive Hummers are 5 times more likely to get a speeding ticket than the average driver.
Myth No. 6: Drivers of sports cars get more tickets and thus pay higher insurance premiums.
Fact: That's not necessarily the case. According to a study released in 2009 by Quality Planning, leading the pack with the most violations are drivers of the Hummer H2/H3. Hummer drivers have almost five times the average number of violations. Drivers of three Scion models (tC, XB Station, XA) also made the top 10 list. Others on the list include drivers of two Mercedes-Benz models (CLK63 AMG, CLS63 AMG), two Toyotas (Solara, Matrix), the Subaru Outback station wagon and the Audi A4.
At the other end of the spectrum, the study also included a "well-behaved vehicle list." Topping that list were drivers of the Jaguar XJ, followed by the Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet C/K-3500/2500, Buick Park Avenue, Mazda6, Buick Rainier, Oldsmobile Silhouette, Buick Lucerne and GMC Sierra C1500 pickup.
