It is of course very minimalistic astrology. But at least they study!

TORONTO, Dec 13 (Reuters Life!) - Never mind how careful you are behind the

wheel or how long you've been driving, the signs of the zodiac may be bigger

factors behind your ability to avoid car crashes -- or why you have too

many.

 

According to a study by InsuranceHotline.com, a Web site that quotes drivers

on insurance rates, astrological signs are a significant factor in

predicting car accidents.

 

The study, which looked at 100,000 North American drivers' records from the

past six years, puts Libras (born September 23-October 22) followed by

Aquarians (January 20-February 18) as the worst offenders for tickets and

accidents

 

Leos (July 23-August 22) and then Geminis (May 21-June 20) were found to be

the best overall.

 

"I was absolutely shocked by the results," said Lee Romanov, president of

Toronto-based InsuranceHotline.com, who also wrote the book "Car Carma"

which touches on the correlation between astrological signs and driving

ability while doing the study.

 

Romanov originally wanted to have some fun by examining astrological signs

as a possible cause for the variance between insurance companies quoting

high and low rates but didn't expect to find anything interesting.

 

"Now, changing postal codes is far less significant to me than drivers of

certain astrological signs," she told Reuters on Wednesday.

 

Even age, another variable for determining insurance rates, is less of a

consideration to Romanov. The cutoff line for being considered a higher risk

driver is 24 years of age; 25-year-olds are considered not-high risk.

 

"I'd rather get into a car with a 24-year-old Leo than a 25-year-old Aries,"

Romanov said.

 

Leos, described along with the study results on

InsuranceHotline.com/a10.html, are "generous, and comfortable in sharing the

roadway."

 

Aries, on the other hand, "have a 'me first' childlike nature that drives

Aries into trouble."

"I wasn't believing in it before," said Romanov, "but I would think twice

before getting into a car with an Aries."
