Some vehicles just seem to have a permanent reservation in the fast lane. A new analysis reveals the cars most likely to rack up speeding tickets, and if you drive one of these models in Minnesota, you might want to keep an eye on your speedometer.

Here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, while there are many forms of public or mass transit (like this daily train route that links the Twin Cities with Chicago), we love driving-- and we love our vehicles, right? There are a LOT of licensed drivers currently behind the wheel here in Minnesota. According to Statista, 4,143,272 citizens hold a current driver's license here in the North Star State.

Of course, many of the over 4 million licensed drivers are often found on the interstates, highways, and roads that crisscross our fair state. Statista notes that the most recent estimates put the number of private and commercial vehicles on the road here in the Bold North in 2024 at just over 2.1 million. That's a lot of vehicles!

But, as we know, not all vehicles and drivers are created equal. Some vehicles are just more likely to get a ticket-- if you're caught going faster than the legal limit, that is. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety noted that law enforcement agencies across the state have routinely handed out over 20,000 speeding tickets during recent crackdowns, noting that 'speed is a major contributing factor to fatal and life-changing crashes.'
