Speed Demonettes

An insurance consulting company has recently released a list of the top 10 ticketed cars per 100,000 miles driven in the U.S. over the past year. Not surprisingly the list includes a couple of AMG Mercedes, the VW GTI and that rolling bastion of invincibility and ignorance, the Hummer H2.

What is surprising is that the number two car on the list is the Toyota Camry. In fact, Camry owners are 3.5 times more likely to get a ticket than the average driver. The other interesting finding is this is due in large part to the women of a certain age who drive this car.

According to this study, women in their 50s, when no kids are in the car, are particularly likely to drive over the speed limit and apparently they aren't very good at spotting public safety officers. Who knew?

On the bright side, when they're pulled over, they can claim they're victims of sudden unintended acceleration.
