Point being this study doesn't accurately reflect the probability (as a % of those cars on the road) of a driver getting followed and stopped. And it also might lead one to forget the obvious: that as a % of the motoring population, there simply aren't that many Porsche on the road to begin with.

And also - from what I understand the 'study' was simply asking people if they ever got a ticket and what they were driving (vehilce) at the time. This 'study' doesn't come from any law enforcement data - simply anecdotes told by people.
So many variables involved in this that I'm not sure how much stock should be put in it.
