Years ago, the federal speed limit was 55 miles per hour. Which meant drivers could getaway with speeding 5 or 10 miles over the limit. Today, the speed limit is 80 miles per hour in some areas, and Idaho drivers still speed.
You don’t have to be a fan of the classic Top Gun to understand the phrase, ‘I feel the need, the need, for speed.’

Sometimes Idaho drivers can’t help themselves when it comes to breaking speed limits. Creative defenders say it was the car or sometimes the truck that made them do it. You don’t see many Hondas or Subarus pulled over for speeding.
However, some makes and models are more prone to speeding tickets than others.
10 Most Popular Makes and Models Getting Speeding Tickets
To identify the car brands with the most speed-prone drivers, the data scientists at Insurify turned to their database of more than 4.6 million car insurance applications. When applying for car insurance, drivers disclose their vehicle make and model, as well as any citations, such as speeding tickets, they have on their driving record within the past seven years. For each vehicle brand, Insurify data scientists compared the number of drivers reporting a speeding ticket against the total number of drivers in the database to determine the share of drivers with a speeding ticket.
