It’s an aggravating but unavoidable truth that some cars attract the attention of law enforcement more than others. If you’re hoping to avoid trouble this year, here are just eight vehicles that act as catnip to cops.
1: 1990 Corvette
In addition to looking like something out of Christopher Nolan’s wet dreams, the 1990 Corvette is a flashy car that never escapes notice. Don’t even think about speeding when every eye on the road is upon you.
2: Donk Caprice
It should come as no surprise than a Donk Caprice is likely to get you pulled over. It should also come as no surprise that it’ll get you beaten up in back alleys and dark parking lots for being obnoxious.
3: Acura Integra Coupe
Coupes are popular with young, reckless drivers, so cops tend to eye them as a matter of course. There’s a good chance that their owners will blow past a stop sign somewhere.
4: Toyota Solara
Watch out, suburban moms. According to a study by auto insurers, the Toyota Solara was the second most-ticketed car in 2011, proving once and for all that even cops hate those “my honor student” bumper stickers.
5: Dodge Ram B200
You could be a Boy Scout leader and still get sideways glances for an old Dodge Ram. Whatever you do, don’t offer candy to little kids while driving it.
6: Dodge Charger R/T 2013
Anything rich and high-class will attract more attention than its clunky cousins, but for some reason, the Dodge Charger R/T 2013 acts as a beacon to police officers. Maybe it’s the shiny paint job. Maybe it’s the irresistible tug of annoying wealthy drivers with places to be.
7: Hummer H3
People who drive big, hulking, gas-guzzling Hummers aren’t the type to meekly follow traffic laws. That’s the theory, at least, which may account for the hundreds of Hummer owners who get pulled over each year.
8: Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Convertible
Yeah, this one is just asking for trouble. It’s the single most ticketed car in America, averaging a pull-over rate of 404 percent, and it also screams “rich driver who doesn’t care about pesky little things like red lights.” If you drive a Mercedes, expect to become friendly with the cops.
These are just eight vehicles that are more likely than others to get you stopped, profiled or thrown in the back of a police vehicle. If you’re looking for a great getaway car for your next bank robbery, don’t choose any of these.
