Drivers named Rupert or Juliet are the most likely to have been caught speeding.

And if they are employed as surgeons or chartered surveyors, their chances of being clocked driving too fast are even greater.

Those called Paige or Connor, meanwhile, are the most likely to comply with the speed limit, as are students and au pairs, a study has found.

Study: Researchers looked at more than three million motorists and found that those named Rupert and Juliet were most likely to be caught speeding

Researchers looked at more than three million motorists to identify the names most likely  to have points for speeding. 

They found women called Juliet, Susannah, Justine, Deirdre or Alexis and men named Rupert, Julian, Piers, Giles or Justin are most likely to put their foot to the floor.

The research also revealed  that male speed freaks are most often employed as chartered surveyors, sales managers, surgeons, TV producers, company chairmen or barristers.

Among women, the worst offenders are commissioned officers in the Armed Forces, chartered surveyors, GPs, business consultants, heads  of personnel and vets.

Sian Lewis of car insurance company Diamond, which carried out the study, said: ‘Our research does indicate that people with certain names  and occupations are more likely to have a speeding conviction than others.

‘It was most surprising to see surgeons and other well-qualified professions top the list of occupations most likely to have a speeding conviction.

‘Many people would also consider the names Juliet, Alexis, Rupert and Piers as traditionally middle class, so  it’s also interesting to see  them feature highly.’

Men named Terrence, Jake, Jordan, Joshua, Jacob or Declan, on the other hand, tend to be  law-abiding on the roads, as  do women called Molly,  Shannon, Bethany, Lily,  Courtney or Caitlin.

Erm, wonder if people with posh names and posh jobs drive posh cars with powerful engines and don’t care if they get a ticket – their lawyers will sort it out. Silly story.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Rubbish article, but I would suspect that the main culprits would be professionals as they tend to be in the position to rip someone else off to pay the ticket and buy the fast car.

But so many questions remain unanswered! What colour of socks were worn by people caught speeding? What did they have for breakfast that day? If we don’t know these things then how can we make a statistical link between, for example, sock colour and speeding? Good to see Diamond wasting money on this sort of drivel instead of using that money to lower their customers’ premiums.

And we need to know this because ………………………

Can someone please tell me ;what is the point of this kind of research? Who has funded it. It is utter nonsense as is the majority of statistical information produced by these worthless surveys.

Report abuse

ITS PRETTY OBVIUOS THAT THESE “RESERCHERS” HAVE A LOT OF SPARE TIME ON THERE HANDS !!!!!

Report abuse

And the purpose of this research was? How many people do you know call Rupert, Juliet, Paige or Connor? They are not the names you come across everyday and I see a lot of people fly past me at speeds well above the limit.

Report abuse

So highly trained, intelligent, responsible people speed. What does that tell you about the speed limits? Who’s more likely to pay the fine? It’s about money, not safety.

Another survey where the methodology is opaque. The names and the vague statement ‘names most likely to have points’ suggests a rating by probability of occurance -within- a given name and not -total numbers-. ie more Ruperts have points within a sampling of Ruperts, but as they are a smaller component of the total population then:- NO; the speeder overtaking YOU, is NOT likely to be a Rupert or a Juliet (outside Knightsbridge anyway!). Round my way most joyriders who go before the magistrate in the local papers seem to be called Darren or David; but then they are part of a larger group nationally and so will rate a smaller percentage.
