One puzzling aspect is that these vehicles don't seem to be correlated with the age of drivers. Given that the older that a driver is, the more likely they are to have at least one DUI, you would expect to find a lot of cars that older people drive.
You could compensate for this by only looking at DUIs within the last five years, but it didn't seem that that was a factor in this study.
- notacoward 5y ago> the older that a driver is, the more likely they are to have at least one DUI The statistics don't back that up. Yes, the number of DUIs on an individual user's record increases monotonically, but that's an uninteresting observation and not what this is about. This is about the vehicle make/model that's being insured and that's highly likely to be the same as (or similar to) the one in which the DUI was incurred. The median age for DUI citations in the US is 30; the median overall is 38. Here are some more detailed statistics. https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/812864 https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/... Drinking to DUI levels has always been more prevalent among the young. So has getting behind the wheel in that condition instead of getting a ride. People get more DUIs when they're young, and the vehicles mentioned definitely do correlate with a younger demographic. Not a lot of old folks in WRXes, unless you think 30 is old.
