Recent data shows that California handed out the most speeding tickets per year, about 1,053,925, with New York coming in second with 712,370. Of course, that’s likely because both states are among the largest in the nation, so that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re the states you’re most likely to get a ticket in.
Well, 24/7 Wall Street has now come out with their list of the states where you’re most likely to get a speeding ticket, looking at how many tickets were issued per 10,000 people living in a state and if you are someone with a lead foot, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
