Study Shows Spirited Vehicles Result in More Traffic Violations

Auto insurance claims are likely to increase due to greater traffic violations accumulated by drivers who purchase “spirited vehicles.” According to a study conducted by Quality Planning (QPC), an analytics company that validates policyholder information for auto insurance companies, drivers who purchase certain types of cars have a greater propensity for getting ticketed than others.

Certain Cars Encourage People to Drive Differently

The QPC study found there is a definite relationship between the type of car a person purchases and their driving behaviors. When it comes to “spirited vehicles,” (cars that result in greater traffic violations), the type of vehicle is usually one from a foreign manufacturer and meant for younger drivers.

Some spirited cars in the study included:

  • Mercedes-Benz SL-Class roadster
  • Toyota Camry and Solara
  • Scion TC
  • Hummer H2/H3
  • Acura Integra
  • Pontiac Grand Prix

Pros and Cons of Umbrella Insurance: Why I Just Bought Some

I have to be honest with you. I am scared to death of being sued. We live in such a litigious society now. It is estimated that over 15 million lawsuits are filed in the United States every year, and over $250 billion is awarded each year in lawsuits. The statistics are completely staggering.

In Arizona, civil lawsuits cost only $80 to file. Many lawsuits go to trial and take several months to complete because they will often include discovery motions, mediation hearings, garnishment hearings, findings, judgments and results that are often appealed or contested. All the time this is going on, lawyer fees are being racked up by both parties.

Are you vulnerable to being sued by someone? You bet you are! Most people think that it can’t happen to them, but if you think long and hard, I bet that you can come up with tons of horrible scenarios where you could be sued for negligence or wrongdoing.
