If you feel the need for speed, be careful if you're driving one of these ten cars here in Minnesota, because they're the more likely to get a speeding ticket.

Here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, while there are many forms of public or mass transit (like this new daily train route linking the Twin Cities with Chicago), we love driving-- and we love our vehicles, right? There are a LOT of licensed drivers currently behind the wheel here in Minnesota. According to Statista, 4,143,272 citizens hold a current driver's license here in the North Star State.
