(siren blaring)
- (sighing) Sorry, Officer,
I didn't realize I was going so fast.
- Well, maybe you shouldn't have been driving
a Nissan 350Z in the great state of Georgia,
where the Nissan 350Z
is the most ticketed car in the state.
- Where am I?
- In fact,
18%
of Nissan 350Z owners
in Georgia have tickets on their records.
- Alright, well,
thanks for the warning. (car engine starting)
- No problem. (car engine accelerating)

It's not really a cop.

in every state in America,
and at the end we're going to find out
which car will get you in the most trouble with the law.
Welcome to Donut.

Oh man, that's good.
- Without further ado, let's kick this master list off
with Connecticut, I believe I am pronouncing that correctly.
The most ticketed car in Connecticut is
the Mazda 6.
Somehow 9% of all Mazda 6 drivers
have a speeding ticket
on their record more than any other car in Connecticut.
Now we're going to get in our car
and we're going to travel a few miles south
to the beautiful state of New Jersey.
Home of Formula drifts,
Gauntlet track.
And I imagine there's a lot of Vaughn getting junior fans
in this state because the number one most ticketed car
in New Jersey is
a Ford Mustang.
Nearly 10% of Mustang drivers
have a speeding ticket in Jersey.
But here's an unsurprising fact.
New Jersey isn't the only state where Mustang
is the most ticketed vehicle.
It's also number one in Mississippi
M I S S i P P P P I where the likelihood
of getting into a car accident is higher
than any other state in America.
Coincidence,
I think not.
Now let's go back to the East Coast.
Let's take a quick little jot over to New Hampshire
or a state that I didn't even know was a state.
I thought it was a town.
New Hampshire is where the patent was filed
for the first steam powered road vehicle in 1882.
No, despite popular believe the long steam tricycle
is not the most ticketed car in the state of New Hampshire.
It's actually the Toyota Camry.
10.1% of Camry drivers
have gotten pitched by the cops for speeding in the granite.
Also, you might be wondering how we even found these cars
because as it turns out
you can't just Google most ticketed car in every state.
So we reached out to professional data scientists
at a company called Insurify
and their database allowed us to put together this list.
They help people find car insurance coverage.
They're our bros.
We'll put a link for their site in the description.
Now, back to the list.
You know what's nicer than granite?
Silver, so let's take a drive down to the Silver State
Nevada's home to the Loneliest Road in America, highway 50
it spans nearly 500 miles
from Reno all the way to Great Basin National Park.
But if you're taking a drive down this lonely road
you might want to drive something that's not
a Subaru Impreza because 11%
of Impreza's receive speeding tickets
on this stretch of road making it the most ticketed car
in Nevada and it's not just Nevada.
Impreza's are also the most ticketed cars in Illinois.
Now let's go back to the East Coast again.
Talking about Rhode Island home of the world's largest bug.
They also like to drink something called Coffee milk
in Rhode Island and maybe all that coffee milk
is why 11.4% of the state's Ford Fusion drivers
have gotten speeding tickets.
The fusion between coffee, milk
and cars equals ticket apparently.
Somehow by the grace of God,
our next car isn't quite as peppy as the speed Demon
known as the Ford Fusion but that doesn't stop it
from being the most ticketed car
in both West Virginia
and Oklahoma.
That's right, boy, if you're a Sooner or a Mountaineer fan
you might want to steer away from this next car.
Obvious
I'm talking about the speedy speed boy referred to
as the Kia Forte named after one of my favorite comedians
and former SNL cast members Will Forte.
You might be asking yourself,
"why is the Kia Forte the most ticketed car in two states?"
And to tell you the truth, pal, I don't know.
But what I do know is
that Kia Forte owners are diehard enthusiasts
and apparently they don't take speed limits very seriously.
And that brings us to the Pine Tree state.
Now, there may only be
380,228 cars
in the entire state of Maine.
Sounds more like minor to me,
but one of those cars has to be the most ticket.
That's facts, that's how this list works.
This car is popular for speeders
but it's also one of the most popular cars of all time.
I am of course talking about the Honda Civic.
Nearly 12% of all Civic drivers in Maine
have run afoul with a local constable
and that is what they call the cops in Maine.
On the other hand, one of the least popular cars of all time
is the Mercury Milan.
I'm digging through my brain right now.
I don't even know what this looks like.
This Ford Fusion lookalike was discontinued in 2011
and nearly 11 years after the last one
rolled off the factory four.
The slow Mercury Milan
has a ticket rate
of over 12% in the state of Michigan.
Our next vehicle sells 160,000 units every three months.
It's consistently the best selling vehicle
in the United States
and apparently it's popular with lead footed scoff laws.
I'm of course talking about the Ford F-series.
Ford's been making F trucks since the 1940s
and current models have V8 that put
out anywhere from 250 to 700 horsepower,
if you include the F-150 Raptor, which I do.
So if you imagine that kind of power paired
with the beautiful sweeping scenic roads of Montana,
you might not be surprised to find
that over 13% of F-series drivers have speeding tickets.
For our next state
we're going to have to take a long wet drive
to little place that I like to call Hawaii.
The most ticketed car in Hawaii is a car
with a reputation for being driven recklessly.
I'm talking about the infamous Nissan Altima.
Now, I don't know what it is about the Nissan Altima energy
but it's chaotic and it scares me.
And if you're driving an Altima in Hawaii
there is a 14% chance
that you've gotten a speeding ticket there.
Vacation's over time to go back
to one of the worst states in America,
of course I'm talking about Arizona
the last continental US state to enter the union.
The most ticketed car in this state is the Infiniti Q50
which is basically an extra luxurious Nissan Altima
except it's got a twin turbo B6
and rear or all-wheel drive configuration.
So it's no wonder that 14.6%
of Q50 drivers
in Arizona get tickets
for speeding
but our next car has an even higher percentage of tickets.
The Acura TL, I hate them cause my stepdad drove them.
And there's a surprising amount
of enthusiasts who love and modify these cars.
Apparently these guys also love to speed
especially in the state of Maryland
where 15% of Acura TL drivers have tickets
and that brings us to Florida for some reason.
Now, you might think the most popular car
in Florida is a Polaris Slingshot with gator skin seats
or a
questionably
imported
Skyline.
But you might actually be surprised to find
that the Honda Genesis Coupe
is the most popularly ticketed car in that state,
at a mind blistering 15.2% of drivers getting tickets
while driving their Genesis Coupe's.
You know what the Genesis has?
Two turbos, and you know what Florida has?
Guys who look like my friend Max.
I think this is a perfect opportunity to let you guys know
that not only do we make videos.
We make clothes including this
the return of The Boost Creep shirt.
We got turbos on our cars now, boy
and we wanted to celebrate by bringing the gang back,
The Boost Creeps.
Let everyone know that you're a Boost Creep
with this limited edition Boost Creep shirt.
Only available at donutmedia.com
Donut, we make clothes.
They're really high quality, I really like them.
We design them all together.
We're friends and it's a fun thing that we do, thanks Max.
In New Mexico, home of the world's largest pistachio
the most ticketed car is none other than the Chevy Camaro.
You might be as shocked as I am
to find that the Camaro owners like speed.
16.5%
of Camaro owners in New Mexico
have landed in the hot seat with the fus.
Speaking of a New Mexico, this place used to be part of it.
I'm talking about Texas.
You might be assuming,
"Hey, this is going to be a truck, for sure."
I've seen Friday night lights,
which truck gets the most speedy tickets?
Well, guess what?
What if I told you that it's not a truck at all.
In fact, it's the opposite truck.
It's a car, and in fact
it's a very small car from a very small island named Japan.
Yes, sir, I am talking about the Subaru BRZ.
The most cowboy car you can get.
Apparently 228 horsepower is enough to put
17%
of BRZ owners
in trouble for breaking the law.
That's the same percentage of G37 owners
that have speeding tickets
in Mr. Beast's home state of North Carolina.
In Vermont home of Benjamin and Jeremy.
The most law-breaking car is a different Japanese car.
The freaking Honda Accord.
The Accord might not seem like a car
that would get in this much trouble
but modern accords are surprisingly quick.
Actually, all new cars are pretty fast
but not as fast as our next car.
One close and near and dear to my heart.
The Nissan 350Z.
Like I said at the beginning of this video,
the Z is the most ticketed car in Georgia.
Now, surprisingly this next car
is the most ticketed car in eight states.
Those eight states are Louisiana, South Dakota,
Kentucky,
Arkansas,
Alaska,
Wyoming,
North Dakota,
and
Alabama.
And by car I obviously mean truck.
The Chevy C 1500
AKA, the Silverado.
Why is Chevy's pickup number one in so many states?
My best guess is because those are all hardworking states.
Where hardworking pickup trucks are working hard
and hardworking people are driving them pick up trucks
and they work hard, and then they want to go eat hard
with their family, keep ranching,
and they work so hard in Alabama in particular
that over 18% of Chevy truck drivers
have speeding tickets while driving their Chevy trucks.
But somehow,
some way
this isn't even the most ticketed Chevy on the list.
Our next car
is a Chevy Cruze.
I told you it wasn't the last Chevy on the list.
Chevy's bargain hatchback has managed to get 18.7%
of owners in trouble in the state of Nebraska
also known as the birthplace of Kool aid.
But that's not the last tiny hatchback on this list.
Boy, let me introduce you to the Mercedes B Class.
This entry level Benz has sold millions worldwide
but in the US it was only available as an EV.
It costs over $40,000 without any options.
They sold only 4,200 units here
from 2014 to 2017
but somehow that hasn't stopped it
from being the number one choice for speed in New York.
Where 19% of B Class drivers forget about the speed limit.
I'm in the waste management business.
On the other side of the country,
the other entry level Mercedes
is one of the most ticketed as well.
That's right, in Oregon.
C Class drivers are the most egregious offenders of the law.
20% or one in five drivers have tickets
while driving those cars.
That brings us to our next car
which is the most ticketed in Tennessee and South Carolina.
I'm not surprised to see this car on this list at all.
Infiniti G35, over 20% of South Carolina's G35 drivers
have a ticket, slow down dudes.
Next car, Dodge Dart, the first Dodge on the list
the Dart was created as a simple replacement
for the Caliber, which was a replacement for the Neon.
They only made Darts for about four years
because apparently they were terrible.
But it still manages to be the most illegal car in 3 states,
Missouri, Utah, and Virginia.
Where 20.7% of drivers got popped by the bubblegum boys.
Now, Maryland and Ohio might be 458.9 miles
away from each other,
but they have one thing in common.
Audi A4 drivers are up to no good on the road.
21% of these dastardly Audi drivers have speeding tickets.
Our next car is an Audi A4 made by Volkswagen.
The Jetta, it's the most ticketed car in four states,
Delaware, Idaho, Wisconsin and Washington DC
which I'm pretty sure isn't a state.
Why is it on the list?
Because Samuel L. Jackson is from there, okay.
Now I want to be honest with you guys.
I bet there's a very slim chance
that Samuel L. Jackson drives a Jetta,
but if he did he'd have a 21.4% chance
of having a speeding ticket on his record
and he'd never be allowed to get any snakes
off of any plane, ever again.
We're down to the top five.
The drivers of these cars
are the most lawbreaking criminals in the country.
Number five, all the way from fricking Minnesota.
Nearly 22% of owners of this Korean sedan
have been ticketed for speeding.
Maybe they were in a hurry on their way
to the Crayola experience at the Mall of America.
Whatever the case, all I know is the most ticketed car
in Minnesota is
the Kia Optima.
Down to number four and oh, it's a familiar little friend.
You thought the Chevy Spark
was going to be the last Chevy on this list?
Think again.
It's the Camaro.
Again!
Only this time we're talking about Camaro's
from Washington state where 22.3% of drivers
were ticketed while driving one.
Getting the bronze medal, AKA, third place
for this unfortunate competition is quite the shocker.
A humble little Chrysler known as the 200, no, not the 300.
No, not the 100, which doesn't exist.
I'm talking about the 200.
This front wheel drive sedan isn't exactly known
for raw power and 23% of Chrysler 200 drivers have been
in trouble with the law for speeding specifically.
And that brings us to number two.
If you know anything about doing naughty things in cars
which I do, you'll completely understand why
this next car is on the list.
Yes, I am talking about the Dodge Charger.
When you sell a car with like 800 horsepower
there's going to be a lot of speeding tickets, okay?
What is surprising is that it's only the top car
in two states.
Firstly, Indiana, home of Indiana Jones,
and secondly, Iowa.
A state which to my knowledge, produces a lot of corn.
So it's no wonder the 24% of Charger owners
have speeding tickets on their record in that state.
Finally, we've reached the number one
most crime committing car
by percentage state in the whole entire union.
If you've been keeping track,
you might have been wondering when this one
was going to show up.
Taking the gold medal for tickets
in California,
Pennsylvania,
Colorado
and the entire United States in general.
Ladies and gentlemen, the champion of tickets.
I'm talking about the Subaru WRX.
The WRX has a rich history of all-wheel drive honing.
These cars have a ton of aftermarket support
and die hard enthusiasts,
and that's exactly why we are building
two WRX's right now for high low.
Do I regret it? Absolutely.
How many engines have we gone through in two cars?
(beep)
The real reason it's on this list
is because in Colorado 25.1%
over a quarter of WRX owners have been given tickets,
while driving those cars.
Thanks for watching this video.
