Ards and North Down can potentially lay claim to having the most law-abiding drivers in the north with the number of offences detected vastly less than other policing districts.
Under 2,000 offences were detected in the district, or 142 per 10,000 people, in the year to the end of May, according to the latest statistics published by the PSNI.
The highest number of offences per head of population was in Antrim and Newtownabbey, with 4,087 detected, or 350 per 10,000 people.
While the highest number of offences was recorded in Belfast City, 7,841, Armagh Banbridge Craigavon (ABC) topped 4,000, or 330 per 10,000 people.
The high numbers in Antrim and Newtownabbey and ABC likely are impacted by large portions of the motorways in the districts.

A notable decrease in the number of drivers illegally using their mobile phones while driving helped to lower the number of overall offences detected by police.
In total, just over 40,600 motoring offences were detected across the north in the 12 months to the end of May, a two per cent drop from the previous year.
Fewer people were found to be driving while holding their mobile phone, with the PSNI recording a 17 per cent drop to 1,657 offences over the year.
However, insurance offences increased by six per cent over the year, with 7,091 detected, which along with speeding (6,734) accounted for one third of the total.
Overall motoring offences have decreased dramatically over the last 10 years, with more than 62,000 detected in 2012.
While the highest speed detected by the PSNI over the 12 months was 140mph, on the M1 near Craigavon, this was only where speed cameras or other police operated equipment is used.
The Irish News earlier this year revealed hundreds of vehicles have been captured moving at extraordinarily high speeds in parts of the north.
One driver or motorcycle rider was detected speeding at 158mph past a primary school at the time its youngest pupils would usually be picked up.
Detection devices captured vehicles being driven at speeds far exceeding 100mph at four primary schools in the district.
Mid Ulster District Council revealed the highest recorded figure on a speed indicator device (SID) was 161mph. Armagh Banbridge and Craigavon captured speeds up to 160mph on its devices.
A device managed by Newry, Mourne and Down District Council caught one vehicle moving at 164mph on the Ballynahinch Road outside Saintfield.
Two vehicles were clocked doing more than 160mph, several over 150mph, while approximately 80 vehicles were recording speeding at more than 100mph in a 10 month period.
The council said engineers checked the devices, no faults were found and the numbers were correct.
SIDs record the speed of the vehicle but no other information.
