Default insurance statistics

just found this set of statistics. The data is compiled from more than 4 million Confused.com insurance quotes, stretches back over the last five years.

I would love to know what % S2000 owners have a ticket. What about a poll?

Car model

Percentage of owners with speeding offence(s)


Land Rover Discovery HSE V6 TD 26%

Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE TD6 20%

BMW 320 DM Sport 20%

Ford S-Max Titanium TDCI 20%

Ford Mondeo Titanium X TDCI (140) 19%


Car model

Worst for

Audi A3 S3 FSI t Quattro - Failing to comply with traffic light signals

Peugeot 106 GTI - Driving without due care and attention

Vauxhall Astra Edition 16V Coupe - Using a vehicle uninsured against third party risks

Citroen Saxo VTR - Driving or attempting to drive with alcohol level above limit

Landrover Range Rover Sport HSE TD6 - Exceeding speed limit on a motorway

Vauxhall Zafira Design DTI - Using a vehicle with defective tyres

I am not surprised about Land Rover owners though and who could have guessed that about Vauxhall owners???

Funny I was talking to my wife last w/e about the Range Rovers on motorways as one was annoying me.

I have NEVER recorded one as driving at or below 70mph when there was opportunity to exceed it.

Dont recall ever seeing one anywhere else but in the outside lane come to think of it.

So one part of the data would appear feasible

I have yet to see one travel through our small village c road within the 30 speed limit!

edit: unless they are stuck behind me that is

Whenever I drive the Disco or RR, I must admit, I pop the cruise on in the outside lane at a Sat Nav speed of x mph and let people get out of the way - I guess people just see them coming..

My licence is squeaky clean*

(but lets not get into semantics)
