Let's get with the program people - you have a "reputation" to live up to and you're not even in the running - not even in the top 20.

Most of the SE/SXT I see end up with 24"+ chrome/painted rims on them

Surprised by the lack of FRS/BRZ

30% of Mazda 3s are ticketed? Really?

Do they mean the old ES300s? If so, I'm not surprised as I've seen a lot of interestingly painted ES300s with 24"+ wheels weaving in and out of traffic around here.

Maybe because they're the ones always driving up curbs and into businesses?

Garage List
2010 135i Coupe  [5.26]
The top car on the list has 33% while the 20th has 29% - The only real takeaway here is that roughly 30% of all vehicles are ticketed. If they broke this down by sub-model, I'm pretty sure a vehicle like the Subaru STI would surely top the list.

WTF is an "Acura 3.0S"?

Although, the difference between #1 and #10 is only 3%, sounds more like the difference in error more than a difference in cars.

And if you broke it down further, you would find the biggest ticket recipients are driving white cars. Reason? It's the most popular color. So much for statistical information.

Probably referring to the Acura CL coupe.

The Lexus ES huh?

So I guess cops DO ticket for going 10 mph under the speed limit in the left lane.

Other probable offenses:
-Not turning on your headlights while your wipers are on (illegal in a few states) or just not turning them on at all.
-Stopping in the middle of the highway because you realize at the last possible second you're about to miss your turn/exit.
-Improper backing because you already passed your turn/exit.
-You drove it into something or someone.
-Any other traffic offense that does not include speeding.
