Sounds a little fishy to me. The top 5 on the list also happen to be
(roughly) the 5 largest states population wise. Statistics can be very
misleading. That sounds like it's just a raw count of number of tickets.
#1 Ohio has a large population in a small state, and is criss-crossed by
several of the biggest border to border interstates in the country. As a
former resident that used to live at the junction of I-70 and I-75, I can
tell ya' there are a hell of a lot more people and trucking going through
than, say, Montana.
It would be more accurate to rate the tickets / miles driven or tickets /
population ratio or something.
