GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

i feel sorry for 'trix drivers. they are on the top ten. vibe isnt'. here's the link:http://articles.moneycentral.m...33004

I have to wonder if age is a contributing factor on some of these cars that obviously were designed to attract a yonger audience: matrix/xa/xb and especially that tc. And while I'm not throwing all youngsters under the bus, some of them do have a tendency to find themselves in trouble on occasion. That doesn't explain the "I gotta have my wussy midlife crisis Solara convertible" though. The Hummer is pretty well self explanatory, those people are an arrogant bunch who think they own the road.

im pretty sure i own the road too lol

wow... even the Subaru outback gets more tickets the the WRX or STi?I didn't think old people drove that fast... every one I see needs to get off my road for driving to slow!

Those are probably the ones that already got ticketed. Tends to slow them down until they forget. You know how forgetful them old folks get!

Oops, I see someone found this article at another source. I posted from CNET. Here are the actual lists:------------------------------------Most ticketed / Rate ------------------------------------Hummer H2/H3 463% Scion tC 460% Scion XB 403% Mercedes Benz CLK63 AMG 397% Toyota Solara Coupe 306% Mercedes Benz CLS63 AMG 276% Scion xA 275% Subaru Outback 266% Audi A4 264% Toyota Matrix 264% ------------------------------------Least ticketed / Rate------------------------------------Jaguar XJ 11% Chevrolet Suburban 16% Chevrolet Tahoe 21% Chevrolet C/K 3500/2500 pickup 28% Buick Park Avenue 32% Mazda6 34% Buick Rainier 37% Oldsmobile Silhouette 37% Buick Lucerne 40% GMC Sierra C1500 pickup 40%

TIME FOR THE 2010 UPDATE:Vibe is now among the 10 'LEAST TICKETED' vehicles!Quote, originally posted by Quality Planning via AUTOBLOG.COM »Those vehicles that Quality Planning classified as "Cautious Vehicles" offered an interesting contrast. With respect to body type, eight of the top ten were either an SUV or minivan. This suggests that carrying passengers, and possibly younger passengers in car seats, makes a noticeable difference in how one drives.Interestingly, 60 percent of SUV drivers in this category were women, whereas for minivans, 51 percent of these drivers were women. In two instances - the Oldsmobile Silhouette minivan and the Buick LaCrosse SUV - the drivers were split 50/50 across gender but differed dramatically in age, with Buick showing 81 percent of ticketed drivers over 60 years old compared with just 8 percent of Silhouette drivers.Table 2: "Cautious Vehicles" (vehicles with lowest percentage of violations)Make Model, Body Style, Violations*, Average Age, % MaleBuick Rainier, SUV, 23%, 61, 71%Mazda Tribute, SUV, 26%, 36, 29%Chevrolet C/K- 3500/2500, Pickup, 26%, 40, 86%Kia Spectra, Sedan, 27%, 40, 44%Buick Lacrosse, SUV, 32%, 65, 50%Saturn Aura Hybrid, Sedan, 37%, 59, 14%Oldsmobile Silhouette, Minivan, 37%, 41, 50%Chevrolet Uplander, Minivan, 38%, 40, 54%Hyundai Tucson, SUV, 38%, 47, 40%Pontiac Vibe, SUV, 39%, 41, 32%*Violations/100,000 miles driven, expressed as percentage of average.Link to full press release and Autoblog article --> http://www.autoblog.com/2010/1...inued

I haven't been pulled over since I got my Vibe.

And that was with tinted windows before the combination I have (35% all around) became legal last October and currently not having a front license plate (they are trying to pass a law where you don't need a front plate, but it hasn't passed yet). I have driven right by state troopers, county sheriffs, etc. and they don't look twice at me !

The dealership told me that my gray plastic cladding was stealth technology that absorbed police radar.

On that list of least ticketed is a pile of BUICKS !!!In my experience they should all get ticketed for impeding the flow of traffic!!! Little grey heads peering through the steering wheel puttin' along! They of course pull out in front of you without bothering to look as well.Dave

Wait - we own an SUV?

You mean that's not a good reason to (potentially) kill someone?
