most ticketed car

Well, the most ticketed car in the US

#1 Mercedes Benz SL class convertible, average driver age 53 404% above average stops for cars. Male drivers 41%

#9 Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG ave driver age 40, 179% stops above average car. male drivers 44%

I think these are the later model sl's. My red 83 Euro only goes 9 MPH above the posted limit!! drive safe out there, you sl and clk drivers

I saw that on CNBC too. My question? If male drivers are 41% of violators, then women getting 59% must be the real lead foots. What does that imply?

It could mean any thing. Here are two example.

1) Cop are attracted to boobs.
2) 59% of the people that own SL's are woman

Having experience in this area I can say without a doubt #1 is the answer.

I'd say that the 41% of drivers are attracted to boobs.

Of course, after witnessing Toronto's Pride Parade last weekend....that percentage might be lower.

Applying Leykis 101 (google it) reasoning, high end cars owned by women are owned by fugly women. Hot women drive cars owned and paid for by men.

By observation, the most aggressive, rudest, and worst drivers are fugly women.

Combine above two factors (fast cars driven badly by fugly women) and you have a perfect storm for getting a ticket. Male cops don't give tickets to hot women.

By experience, Ex2 (she is also Ex4, but that is another story) was super hot and drove very well 30 MPH above the speed limit. The only ticket she ever got was for 128 in a 70 west of Fort Worth. Female cop.

Women with boobs or pretty faces don't get tickets, especially if they have both.

And let's not forget, the "fuglies" you speak of tend to be the motorheads (tomboys) who dont care about flaunting their feminine traits, the few they have, so yeah.......you're right

In addition, I'd suggest that an expensive car gets more than it's fair share of attetion by the police.

On the other hand my eldest daughter, who was voted hottie of the year at her workplace, has told me she has beaten two speeding tickets by starting to cry when the officer approaches her. I can only assume that the officers were male....
