Flawed as it may be, you haven't provided anything to back your position up. "That's just like your opinion, man." Just sayin.

A study is defined as "a detailed investigation and analysis of a subject or situation". There is no analysis in this. It is not a 'study' - it is an observation. There is no scientific backing of this other than picking up the phone and calling people. It is also not a detailed investigation. All it is is some general observations based on some sketchy data. As for an actual 'study' with analysis:

They actually use traffic DATA from insurance companies. Is it a perfect study - no. Certainly more accurate than previous one. Did you author that study? It sure seems to have gotten your knickers in a knot all these people disagreeing with it.
Sorry if we hurt your genius feelings.

I got bored after looking at the first 3. Talk about not-user friendly! You had to download a new page for each car ranked. They could have included a summary chart, but of course then you wouldn't need to look at a zillion Forbes pages .

Yeah, there really is scant information on the net about this. Obviously not a hot topic out there. Also, would imagine the information is so spread out, it would take quite a bit of time to complile all the data?

See below if you don not want the Forbes click bait version.
There's also a second list as well: Least likely to be tickted according to their analysis.

Auto Insurance Analysis Does What We Drive Affect How We Drive

Interesting to note, four of the top 10 cars in their 2009-2010 analysis were German. While on the 10 least likely to be ticketed there weren't any German cars.
Meanwhile 2 American cars were on the most likely list, 7 American cars on the least likely list.

First list is mostly all coupes and sedans whereas the second list is mostly all SUV and minivan. Interesting, although not surprising when one thinks about it.

What I glean from this whole topic - Speeders tend to drive fast, sporty cars....but just because you drive a fast, sporty car, that does not make you a speeder.
