Top 10 cars with drivers who get speeding tickets in 2024

Some surveys and data analyses that attempt to explain the driving habits of Americans will have you scratching your head and asking, “Where did this come from?” Other will having you nodding in agreement with the results, because they seem to be spot on.

This one adds up: The most recent study from Insurify lists the car models with drivers who have received the most speeding tickets so far in 2024. Certainly, there are a few surprises: the underpowered Chevy Cruze Limited, for instance, and the practical and economical Scion tC (both no longer sold).

But to cut to the chase, so to speak, the drivers of the Subaru BRZ, a spiffy, two-plus-two sports car, are the worst offenders when it comes to speeding. The BRZ has a 113 percent higher speeding ticket rate (17.7 percent of registered BRZ owners) than the average across all models (8.3 percent).

Nearly one-quarter of BRZ owners with speeding tickets have more than one of them on record, and their owners pay $3,540 annually for insurance, compared to $3,180 for drivers with no tickets.

It’s a serious matter. The data organization notes that 33 people died per day in speeding-related car accidents in 2022, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Sports or sporty cars tend to attract drivers who like power and acceleration, which makes perfect sense. But Insurify explains that higher insurance premiums for those vehicles occur because they may attract car thieves, and they often have specialty parts that make repairs more expensive.
