This article from Wired's Autopia section discusses a new report from an
insurance industry risk-assessment group that correlated traffic ticket
issuance with car model and found that Hummer drivers attract traffic
tickets at nearly *five* times the average rate:

Nearly five times the average.
It's particularly astounding because young people-- who are also pulling
in tickets are higher-than-average rates-- are less likely to be able to
afford to drive such a vehicle.
The article is great, not the least for the large, attractive photo of a
smashed and disabled Hummer that it features. Shots like that are like
porn for an old human-powered geek like me. Thought I don't much like
the way it's blocking a crosswalk.
