The title of this thread was supposed to be "Ohio Speeding Statistics" but I accidentally hit the enter key. Anyways,I came across these two articles regarding speeding tickets given by the Ohio State Highway Patrol. I thought you all might find it interesting what the breakdown of speeding tickets (by sex and age) were in Ohio.
Tipping Point For Speeders: 9 mph Over Limit

(For those who don't like to read links, I pulled out the key info):
"At 9 mph over the limit, troopers issued only 3,864 speeding tickets during the three-year period, the analysis found. But at 10 mph over, they wrote more than 36,000. And don’t even think about 15 over. Almost 147,000 drivers were ticketed for speeding by 15 mph, accounting for 16 percent of all speeding tickets issued."
"Being young doesn’t help your ticket chances either.The most common age to get a ticket is 20, the analysis found. Twenty-year-olds got almost 66,000 tickets during the three years, and were followed closely by 19-, 21-, 22-, and 23-year-olds. Together, drivers in that age group got almost one in five of all speeding tickets issued."

"Last July 4 weekend, Ohio Highway Patrol troopers wrote 19,331 citations, including 13,512 speeding tickets and almost 4,000 safety belt violations, a Dayton Daily News analysis of Ohio Highway Patrol data found."
"Men are more likely to get tickets than women, even though there are 250,000 more licensed female drivers in Ohio, the data shows."
"During last year’s July 4 weekend, men got nearly 12,600 tickets while women received just over 6,700. That tracks with the newspaper’s analysis of close to 1.7 million citations from 2007 through 2009 that found men getting more than 1.1 million or 68 percent of all tickets."
I guess what I found the most intersting from these two articles is there are 250,000 more licensed females than males in the State of Ohio.
