I had a white Honda Civic sedan for a few years. For the first 75,000 miles it apparently had functional anti-radar stealth technology, as I did not get my first speeding ticket in it before then. And I deserved to get more than a few, honestly.
Wow! This list is a perfect match to my experience as a motorcycle commuter as the most autos to stay clear of. Maybe there is something to the douchbag coefficient and the ticketing…..
Mikee, what’s really funny is I’ve read that a dark-colored car with a low profile, no headlights (as in the flip up variety that can be stowed) with the front license plate removed has such a small radar signature that many police radar and laser speed guns have difficulty getting a solid reading.
The best example I heard was a Black Corvette with the front plate removed, and Pre-C6 which has fixed lights.

I would add Nissans with 515 HP blower kits to that list… 😉

The personality types most likely to purchase the cars. Now I can profile.

Cars most likely to get ticketed– the ones being driven on the sidewalk. But strictly speaking though, it is the driver who gets ticketed.
