Speeding is the #1 reason people get pulled over when driving. Which isn't really a surprise. It's also something you have direct control over, unless there's a speed trap of course.

Other top reasons people get pulled over include distracted driving from mobile devices, wild lane changes, and tailgating. All of these things are super easy to avoid.
