In a given day, American law enforcement will issue an estimated 100,000 tickets for traffic violations.  This translates into upwards of $6 billion in fines annually!  In a recent geographical analysis, it was discovered that 10 metropolitan areas were responsible for a large majority of these tickets.  Whether it's the rapidly fluctuating speed zones of Austin, the free-for-all highways of Los Angeles, or the chaotic traffic of New York, exercising caution when driving around the cities of this list may just save you from the disheartenment and cost of a traffic ticket.

Rogers Auto Group's hometown of Chicago came in eighth on the list.  Speeding tickets aren't so much the culprit due to the Windy City's high traffic congestion, but red-light cameras issue enough tickets to earn our town this undesirable distinction.  In fact, Chicago has the most red-light cameras among all cities in the U.S., which doesn't help your odds when trying to blaze through that yellow light.  Drive smart and save your daring feats for cities not on this list.
