A study of 100,000 drivers finds that the month you were born is far more significant than your age in predicting car crashes.
The study ranks astrological signs based on North American driving data, gathered by InsuranceHotline.com’s online quoting service over the last six years. The data was collated by Stanford University professor Keyvan Mohajer.
“The results are overwhelming, showing that drivers of certain astrological signs are prone to getting more tickets, while others seem destined to have accidents,” says Lee Romanov, president of InsuranceHotline.com.
“Insurance companies weigh a number of variables when determining your insurance rate, such as where you live and the type of vehicle you drive.
Ironically, they overlook the most significant factor of all — your astrological sign,” says Romanov.
The study ranks astrological signs according to the following factors:
- greatest number of tickets;
- highest number of accidents; and
- the overall best to worst signs for drivers.
The astrological sign that had the worst influence over drivers, causing them to have the greatest number of tickets and accidents, was Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22).
The sign with the least number of tickets and accidents was Leo (Jul. 23 to Aug. 22).
