The site compiled a list of the top 10 school-zone speeders across New York City, and they're all drivers of pretty ordinary cars; less than half of the order is made up of luxurious or relatively sporty rides. In fact, the worst repeat offender of the lot is the aforementioned four-ringed sedan. In addition to the Audi's 563 tickets in 2024, it's also already received 177 so far this year. Its owner has reportedly paid $46,636.60 of those fines to date, but they still owe an additional $11,205.63. All of their speeding was done in Brooklyn, and they were caught most often by cameras on Ocean Parkway and Ocean Court. Transportation Alternatives doesn't say what kind of [Audi A6]() it is—whether it's the 2.0-liter turbo-four model or the 3.0-liter V6—but you don't need power to blast through a school zone. That Audi owner isn't the only one shelling out big bucks to speed. Number two on the list drives a 2015 Mercedes C300 and was flagged by school-zone cameras 474 times in 2024, but not once yet in 2025. This driver isn't quite as willing to pay, though, owing a whopping $47,858.17 in fines, and having only forked over $3,531.69 so far. Most of their speeding was done in Manhattan, and the data indicates that the locality of these violations is a theme. ![]() Another Mercedes, a 2020 [CLA](), landed at number three with 295 tickets since 2024 and $24,716.62 owed. That's followed by a 2022 Kia Forte, with 246 tickets in 2024. This list seems to be ordered by quantity of violations last year, but if you factor in the Forte's 73 tickets through 2025, it would place above the #3 Merc. The rest of the group mostly consists of pretty normal cars, with even a couple of big family vehicles in there, like a [Chrysler Pacifica](). The list was compiled using public data from the New York City Department of Finance, according to [Transportation Alternatives](). Here's the entire top 10: - 1. 2023 Audi A6 - 2. 2015 Mercedes C300 - 3. 2020 Mercedes CLA-Class - 4. 2022 Kia Forte - 5. 2022 Chrysler Pacifica - 6. 2022 Range Rover - 7. 2024 Kia Forte - 8. 2023 Chevy Suburban - 9. 2023 Toyota Camry - 10. 2018 Ford taxi Basic luxury aside, you'll find no high-dollar sports cars in that ranking—not even one Mustang. Just normie folks like you and I, seemingly always in a hurry. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
