    Is it having a small penis, or being friendless, that makes you suck at driving?

    @diskreet: Neither. It's the small furry mammals that friendless, small penised males carry in their front vest pockets, which tickle the driver when wiggling around, that make them bad drivers. Remember, accuracy and detail are what makes for good reportage.

    Aside from the top slot, Toyota owns the most highly ticketed category, just the way GM owns the lest ticketed group. Didn't really see that distribution coming.

    With the Outback, I think the Outback driver is too concerned with getting in the parking space as quickly as possible so they can turn their Earth-murderer (read: engine) off. I suppose that leads to a lot of poorly parked Outbacks. Could also be hard to park when you're high and have to worry about that damn canoe on top.


    The Matrix is, in my experience, an "assertive female" car. These mystical creatures (the females, not the Matrixes) hate nothing more than to be characterized or generalized, so each of these drivers believe that their Matrix is the universe's sole "ironic" strong female Matrix.


    Stay with me.


    Strong females, while more capable than regular females in some ways, (drink beer at the bar, can take their own trash out) do not have superfemale driving skills.


    If you were to tell one of them this, you would likely get a lecture about equality, or your phone number deleted, but it's true.


    Anyways, the ability to parallel park is inversely proportional to the number of Ani DiFranco records you have --- everyone knows that. This makes strong women, men who wear tight jeans, and university professors under 45 terrible at parallel parking. All of these people drive Matrixes.


    I'm glad we had this conversation

    I see according to those numbers, Toyota drivers are the biggest law breakers while GM drivers are the biggest law abiders.


    I had no idea Toyota owners as a group were such badasses.

    Violation count per 100,000 mile. Doesn't that seem an odd way to do it? Of the top rated, I see 3 of the snooty drivers and several hot rocks drivers. Outback and Matrix look a little out of the norm for what I'd imagine the typical bad driver would drive.

    Wow, are all of you who are making generalizations about Hummer drivers really ready to stand by those assertions?


    Especially given that, in spite of their explanation, their methodology is obviously crap (i.e., the grouping of H2s and H3s but the distinction between Scion and Chevy models, etc.).

    Not surprised. H2/H3 Hummer drivers as a group are self-important poser douchebags, both in parking and driving habits. It's not a great stretch for them to extend their sense of entitlement from choice of vehicle to other aspects of their lives. What is interesting to me, is that no H1's are on there. This of course is because, in situations where finding parking is difficult, they can always drive up an adjacent wall, and into the lower branches of a large tree. Problem solved.

    @timtoolman: Just got it. I had to take a couple guesses at the hotel in the background. It's SOKOS, a Finnish operator.


    From the pics on their site (they have 30+ locations), it's Helsinki.

    I chalk up Scions to being overwhelming driven as first-time cars (teenagers).


    H2 could be a personality thing, or possibly a "I parked on the curb because I can't judge the size of my vehicle through these gunslot windows" issue. Or a combination.


    Merc is probably an entitlement thing. Note both of them are the monster 6.2 V8 models. Compared to them, paying a ticket is nothing.

    How do they calculate this? I would assume that, say, Model Ts would top the "least ticketed" list.


    So I assume that it's tickets given per registered vehicle. But then, it would just be a measure of which vehicles are more likely to be in urban areas.

    Okay, are they just giving away Mercedes CLK/S AMGs? If so, put me in line.


    Also, why did they split the AMG CLK/CLS and not the Hummer H2 and H3? That seems a bit fishy to me.
