Although we can see the stats, the stats themselves don’t prove all that much. Why do certain cars get more tickets than others? It isn’t usually the fastest cars. So, then it must be something to do with the people who buy certain cars. Let’s take a closer look at which car brands get the most speeding tickets.

No one saw Volkswagen coming
That’s right. Volkswagen shows up at no. 3 with 12.24 out of 100 Volkswagen drivers get tickets. With so many family-friendly, mild-mannered models, you might think that VW drivers stay off the police’s radio, but don’t forget about the boy racer special, the Volkswagen Golf GTI.
