Many Reasons. I have been walked around my H2 several times after being pulled over, to check for both high an low beam headlights, proper bumper height, proper exhaust, and any other BS they could find. I have recieved many speeding tickets because i usually travel 10 or so over the limit.

DID ANY OF YOU READ THE POST SLOWLY ???

Just because YOU haven't gotten a ticket doesn't mean others haven't gotten any...

Now if you can prove BOTH studies are bogus...put up or shut up...

Do HUMMER drivers get more tickets? A new study thinks so...

I had a yellow Chevrolet Corvette Z06 last summer. When I took it by my parents house, my dad warned me not to break the speed limit because sports cars were a big red flag for law enforcement. His logic made complete sense, but it turns out that sports cars aren't necessarily the the most likely vehicles to get tickets. That honor goes to the HUMMER H2 and H3. ISO Quality and Planning, which does studies for insurance companies, found that HUMMER drivers are four times more likely to get a ticket than the average driver. Nobody has any concrete reason for why this is, but some guesses include a misplaced sense of power or an inability to notice road signs and hazards due to an elevated driving position. Of course, it could also be that due to the brand's subconscious negative baggage, police officers are more likely to give HUMMER drivers a ticket than a warning.

Other vehicles that are more likely to be involved in a road violation include the Scion tC, xA, and xB. Those vehicles often find themselves being driven by younger drivers who typically get more tickets anyway. Surprising, though, is the fact that the Toyota Solara and Subaru Outback also made the list. Not exactly barn burners, there. Interestingly, eight out of the 10 least ticketed vehicles come from General Motors, while six of the 10 most ticketed vehicles come from Toyota. View the galleries below to see the entire lists of the most and least ticketed vehicles from the Quality and Planning study. Thanks for the tip, Droids1!

Nicole and I were pulled over only once... it was on the way back from Moab. We were in UT still. We were going 10 miles over the speed limit. No ticket. Just a warning (don't ask me how I pulled that off) and that's as close as we have come to getting a ticket.
