U.S. Study Reveals Top 10 Vehicles With the Most DUIs in 2024

Their data science team used a proprietary database of more than 97 million car insurance quotes to identify the 10 cars with the highest share of drivers with a DUI in 2024.

An analysis of car insurance quotes reveals that 6.4 out of 1,000 American drivers reported a DUI on their driving record in 2024.
As Insurify points out, many of the vehicles listed above are available with advanced driver assistance features such as automatic emergency braking, which could prevent some accidents by automatically braking if the driver doesn’t, but they’re no substitute for sober driving.
