My former boss did that. They got him driving his BMW M4 111mph on the freeway. His lawyer got his fine reduced to $1000. Still got 2 points on his license. He says he can’t imagine not wanting to drive fast.
Study on the cars with the most reckless drivers

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the L200 was the four cylinder model. The data is based on a per 10,000 rate and there's probably not 10,000 L200s, CCs, or Rodeos still on the road, so the sample sizes are probably skewing this a lot. I think that's why the Miata "won" too...it's a sports car, but also has a very low sample size compared to others. Most Miatas I see are not being driven recklessly, but if the sample size is too small for good data, it could look that way. The fact that the Mustang and Camaro aren't on there is surprising. I'm guessing it's just because they sell more than the Challenger and have broader appeal among old ladies, sorority girls, people who never drive them, etc.
I bet the Silverado and Ram are on there due to squatty potty trucks.
There should be some data regarding age. Remember the thread that started with the link of the video of a new teen driver and the new high HP car his parents brought him. Some adults have no idea of where to draw the line with an inexperienced driver.
In years past I would also be looking for that to be further broken down into gender, but now days that is politically incorrect. I think most insurance companies can not even look at that, and just group all genders together.

This all smells like a failed troll.
Not on my part. I just heard about this and with the disparate vehicles (pickups, sports cars, muscle cars, SUVs, sedans) making the top 10 I thought it might make for some interesting discussion.
everybody should. i got a 45 over turned into parking ticket.
you also to need to know when to run. if you’re over 120 when you see lights you do not stop

L200 is on the list bcs. purchase qualifies as reckless.
I stand corrected.
So apparently these are the ones that get caught. Your odds are better in other models, LOL.https://insurify.com/insights/car-models-with-the-most-reckless-driving/
They seem to think it's the Miata. I've seen Genesis Coupe drivers and I can understand that. And of course Isuzu and Saturn are off the market. I also distinctly remember the L200 as being tremendously boring.
Kinda like the story about adding armor to the planes. Don't add it to the spots where the planes that returned to base were hit. Add the armor to the spots where they were not hit. Maybe the same thing here, these are the ones that got caught. Reckless drivers in other cars got away, or were able to slip under the radar so to speak.

Absolutely, I see more and more of them ripping around here, some slammed, some "stanced out", mostly with blacked out badges or "alternative" badges, underglow...etc.
Does it get less mpg than other sedans at 80?
Unemployed people in a big hurry to go nowhere with paper plates from a budget auto lot are the worst. It's more about the driver or owner than it is about the vehicle. Any car with a "fart can" exhaust is a culprit as well. Any vehicle with extremely loud exhaust would make the list too.
BMW should be on the list.
BMW should be on the list.
When I was taking my drivers education class back in 1970 my instructor told the class to always give a wide berth to any vehicle that had a bent coat hanger replacing the radio antenna and a hole in the trunk lid where the owner had locked his keys in the trunk, punched the lock out and never replaced it. Those were the drivers who most likely had no insurance and were of the highest risk of doing something stupid and/or dangerous in our vicinity.
I has proved to be good advice.

Around here it is the rolling coal gang. Rams and F-150's mostly.
