Whether it's because some cars catch the eye of cops, or because they catch the eye of irresponsible drivers, is not clear. What is clear is that some cars are simply ticketed more often than others.

Insurance.com conducted a study this year involving more than 323,000 cars to find out which models receive the most speeding tickets and traffic violations. Your Mechanic took the analysis of that data a step further by separating the cars into eight categories: luxury cars, compacts, mid-sized, minivans, pickup trucks, sports cars, subcompact cars, and SUVs. (Because let's face it, a Corvette is going to have more tickets than a Prius.)

The most ticketed car? The Lexus ES 300, which sees more than a third of its owners ticketed compared to less than 4 percent of Lexus IS350 owners (both in the luxury car category). Check out which car receives the most and least tickets for its category below, and you can visit Your Mechanic to get even more info about how frequently different types of cars are fined by the cops.
