Vehicles Least Likely To Get You A Speeding Ticket
The study was conducted by Quality Planning -- a company that validates policyholder info for auto insurers -- based on data gathered between August 2007 and September 2008, using a sample size of 1.7 million vehicles.
The study also has an up side, however -- it included a list of models that were much less likely to get ticketed, when compared with the average score. The following gallery represents those vehicles that were least likely to get a moving violation.
The percentage figure listed for each model represents how much less likely the model was to get a moving violation, compared with the overall average. For example, the Jaguar XJ's "rating" of 89 percent meant it was 89 percent less likely to get a ticket than the average. Which, in itself, is an unusual finding, given that the one of the engines offered on an XJ is a burly boy that cranks out 400 hp -- which one would think would tempt the driver to press the pedal to the metal. But, 'facts is 'facts.
