Ever wonder which cars rack up the most speeding tickets? Insurify.com compiled the data, and haspublished a list of the cars whose drivers are most likely to have a speeding violation on their record.
Most cars on the list shouldn’t be too much of a surprise. Young people tend to speed; driving enthusiasts tend to speed; and law enforcement is looking for those two groups to speed. So not surprisingly, cheap, sporty, manual transmission cars tend to dominate the list.
A fun fact: on average, 10.54% of drivers on the road have a speeding ticket. The leading car on the list had a percentage nearly twice as high. Another fun fact: Dodge, the brand that markets itself most to speed freaks, claimed three of the top 10 spots (four, if you count Ram).
Check out the top 10 cars most likely to get a speeding ticket below.

Dodge Chargers are getting stolen like crazy in Detroit
The Dodge Charger is exceedingly popular on its home turf in Detroit, to the point one can’t drive another fast car without hearing one rumble in response. (Either a Charger or Challenger was clocked at 180 mph during the pandemic.) It’s also popular with Detroit thieves, apparently; more than 1,000 Chargers were stolen during the last year alone.
