Using data from the latest MoneySupermarket Motor Monitor, we analysed which drivers are statistically the most likely to be caught speeding based on any convictions which they have indicated when retrieving car insurance quotes. We have analysed over 18 million car insurance quotes to gain a more accurate reflection of the overall UK motoring market.
