Zero pullovers, zero tickets in 20 years of driving. Beige Corolla. And, oh yeah, not speeding. Yeah, it's boring. Less boring, to me, than working more hours to pay for more expensive insurance.

Closest I ever came was one time I had a near-emergency run to pick someone up at the airport and forgot my wallet. Realized this at the tollbooth. Trooper gives me an envelope and asks me to mail in the toll. White male boring car privilege, ftw!

At the same time, I would like to know the associated likelihood of getting ticketed if one drives a Ford F250, particularly if the truck is "lifted."

xanadian: Like a red car, it stands out more to the cops.

Still paranoid in my red Mustang....

I wouldn't have gotten a red one, but the price was right.

Has nothing to do with the fact that douchebags buy these things then act like doucebags on the road. Nope. Not at all.

Nissan Altima drivers are worse. Like a bajillion times worse, yet I hardly see them pulled over.

Do see them with lots of body damage, though.

/Saw a Prius pulled over the other day. I lol'd. Couldn't help it.
//You know, that mileage really goes down at 85mph.

I'm guessing the large majority of the tickets were written to the Hummers driven by cell-phone-wielding soccer moms driving the behemoth "so MY children survive the crash."

And all of them went to Hummers that have never seen dirt outside of parking on the grass at the mall.

I think it was Dennis Miller who said "A Hummer driven by a Marine is a tool. A Hummer on the freeway is being driven BY a tool."

Lumber Jack Off: 80 - 85 in a 70 mph zone. sorry... but if 10-15 mph over isn't fast enough for you, you can suck my dick.

The passing lane is called the passing lane for a reason, I hate when people drive in the passing lane, like there are multiple lanes just for the hell of it.

Dunno about tickets, but the DUI likelihood is up there.

Math is hard, isn't it?

/4.63x = 463%

Maybe I'll get some fail from saying this but doesn't 4.63 times more really mean 363% more? Because if you say 100% more you mean 2 times more. 200% more means 3 times more, and so on..

Ah yes. We should all drive what poor tools want us to drive. The same tools whose envy drives their hatred. At least be consistent. Tahoes and Suburbans share chassis, engine and have similar fuel mileage with the H2. Why not hate them too?

That coward David Lopan: 463% is the same as 4.63 TIMES (i.e. 200%, twice as likely). Math. Learn it.

I think it's basically because Hummer owners are 463% more likely to be retarded egomaniacs who are way above petty things like traffic laws.

I got my 3-point ticket for making a right on a yellow light. Saturday night, I'm driving a piece of crap, and the cop apparently had spent his high school career getting beat up on a daily basis and takes it out on the community. My passenger was furious that a ticket could be handed out for a fabricated reason, but at that point there's really nothing that can be done.

I have a truck that says "RACING" in huge letters down the side and the times that it's on the roads it's like the police don't even see it. The POS Honda is a damn ticket magnet.

snocone: A mile visibility behind you is not enough unless the navigator has binocs.

My dad always had me or my brother watching with binoculars when we were kids.

I choose to travel with a CB radio. Truckers know what's up. Even if you don't have a CB, watch the truckers. If they are traveling over the speed limit, odds are there are no bears on patrol.

Everytime I hear about people who attack SUV drivers, I think of people sitting at starbucks all day (I love starbucks btw) with thier laptops open and writing articles. When they leave, the get into these cars that were manufactured in 1970, that probably guzzle as much or more than hummers.

"Or perhaps Hummer drivers, by virtue of their driving position, are less likely to notice road hazards, signs, pedestrians and other drivers."

Sitting high would make them more likely to see things. That's a reason trucks don't have many accidents despite having a stopping distance twice as long as cars. One of the standard selling points of SUVs is making small women feel taller.

No tickets in my F-250 - diesel is still $1/gal more than gasoline and fuel mileage drops fairly quickly above 70mph. Even more so when you have 6 tons connected to the rear end. Being able to stop is fairly important too...

/No lift here - lifted trucks are too hard to load and can't tow properly.

I don't care what you drive, only that you know how to drive. There's too damn many people with drivers licenses that have no business behind the wheel.

If you pick a vehicle that's a high profile target for law enforcement, slow down/obey traffic laws or get pulled over a lot and pay higher insurance. Simple really.
