The comparison portal Verivox has evaluated which drivers of which car models collect the most points in the traffic offender register. For a brand, the speeder ranking is devastating.
- If you need car insurance , you often have to state your points in Flensburg.
- The consumer portal Verivox has now anonymized inquiries.
- A German manufacturer leads the dubious ranking by a clear margin.
Update from August 17, 12:21 p.m.: Anyone who takes out new car insurance in Germany also has to report to many insurers how many points they have in the traffic offender card in Flensburg . The providers hope that the information will provide information on the policyholder's driving style and thus the premium classification.
The comparison portal Verivox asks the points for every request to find the cheapest tariff. Now the online portal has anonymously evaluated the data on the 100 most widespread models in order to determine which drivers of which car models get a particularly high number of points in the traffic offender register .
The result of the speeder statistics is unexpectedly clear. According to this, five Audi models are among the top 10 largest speeders. The clear front runner is the Audi A6 Allroad Quattro with 196 percent. On average, drivers of the A6 model collect points twice as often as all drivers on average. This is followed by the Audi A5 (66 percent) and another model from the Volkswagen Group with the Skoda Superb. BMW is represented in the top 10 twice with the 5 Series and the 3 Series in 9th place.
The VW subsidiary Audi made it into the top three times with the TT, the A6 and the Q5. The Swabian premium competitor Mercedes-Benz is only represented in the ranking with the CLK-Class. Incidentally, the Top10 list is firmly in German hands. With the Volvo V70, there is only one foreign model on the hit list.

First report from August 14, 3:58 p.m.: The crisis-ridden Volkswagen Group * is almost back to last year's level in sales in July despite Corona. Last month the company delivered a total of 885,700 vehicles. That was just 0.2 percent less than a year ago, announced the world's largest automaker on Friday.
In China in particular , sales increased significantly. In its most important single market, VW grew by 4.8 percent to just under 330,000 vehicles. This was the fourth consecutive monthly increase. Sales also picked up again in other regions such as Central and Eastern Europe (+7.2 percent) or Asia-Pacific (+6.4 percent).
Among the brands, Porsche once again proved to be particularly resilient. In July, the sports car manufacturer from Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen sold 17.8 percent more vehicles than in the previous year. According to the quarterly figures published at the end of July, Porsche was the most profitable car manufacturer in Europe in the first half of the year. In addition to Porsche , Audi (+3.8 percent) and Skoda (+5.6 percent) have also done well recently.
VW: Significantly in the red for the year
For the year as a whole, however, Volkswagen is still clearly in the red due to the corona pandemic. From January to July, the Wolfsburg-based company sold a total of 4.78 million cars worldwide, a good quarter fewer than a year ago. After the three-week summer break, the production lines in the German VW plants start up again on Monday.

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, almost all carmakers had to stop their production in the spring. Many car dealerships were closed.
In the current year, the global automobile market is therefore heading for a severe setback. Worldwide sales figures are likely to collapse by 15 to 25 percent in 2020, expects Frank Schwope , auto analyst at NordLB in Hanover . For Volkswagen , the auto expert assumes a decline of between 13.6 to 18 percent to 9 to 9.5 million vehicles. This would mean that the group would "fall back to the level of 2012," writes Schwope in a report published on Friday.
