If you had to guess what kind of vehicle is most likely to tickets, what would you choose? A flashy sports car like Ford’s Mustang<\/a> or the Porsche 911<\/a>? A “pocket rocket” like the VW GTI<\/a> that attracts a younger buyer? Guess again.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
According to ISO’s Quality Planning Corporation<\/a>‘ s recent study, The Hummer H2\/H3<\/a> actually leads the pack. Why? That’s the subject of great debate. Is it that Hummers attract a buyer who’s independent and “type A”? Does the stance of the vehicle itself change the way drivers interact with traffic and roads? Who knows. But Hummers are over 450% more likely to be ticketed than the average vehicle. <\/p>\n

Rounding out the top 10 are three Scion models, the Toyota<\/a> Solara and Matrix, all of which appeal primarily to younger drivers, and a couple of the higher powered Mercedes<\/a> models. Another surprise is the Subaru Outback<\/a> Station Wagon, over 2.5 times more likely to be ticketed than the average vehicle. <\/p>\n

So which vehicles are the least likely to be ticketed? Well, some are not surprising: three Buicks and an Olds make the bottom 10. Interestingly, some other SUVs and a few pickups make the “least ticketed” list: Chevy’s Suburban, Tahoe and CK pickup, and the GMC Sierra. Each of these is less than half as likely to get a ticket as the average vehicle. The absolute least likely: another surprise – theJaguar XJ<\/a> sedan.<\/p>\n

The study compared a vehicle’s violation count per 100,000 miles driven for a one year period from 2007 to 2008. <\/p>\n
