By Land Rover drivers are more likely to speed than boy racers, new research has revealed.
Over a quarter of Land Rover Discovery owners have been caught speeding on public roads, contrary to common wisdom that boy racers in hot hatchbacks are the most likely to be found speeding.
Research revealed that Citroen Saxo VTR drivers are worst for driving under the influence whilst Peugeot 106 GTI owners are least likely to comply with traffic lights. Stats also showed that Ford Galaxy Zetec owners are caught most often using their phones while driving.
The data, compiled from more than 4 million Confused.com insurance quotes, stretches back over the last five years. Information from each quote sent to the site made it possible to accumulate the total amount of offences for vehicles on UK roads.
