Iâ€™m a Libra, and Iâ€™m a bad driver, or so the people at InsuranceHotline.com: say.

A study of 100,000 North American drivers showed that Libras are the worst

when it comes to causing accidents and racking up traffic citations.

Luckily for me i don't live in the States!

I'll agree with that based on one Libra I used to know. :wah: As far as the study goes, I'm not sure what they'd say about Pisces, but the state of Illinois said that I was safe enough that I didn't have to stand in line down at the BMV anymore.

Zodiac Signs Factor in Driving Accidents

A study by InsuranceHotline.com states that a significant factor in predicting car accidents is what star sign you were born under. It looked at 100,000 North American drivers over a six year period and came to some amazing conclusions.

Libran's followed by Aquarians are the worst offenders for tickets and accidents. Leos and then Geminis were found to be the best overall. Aries have a 'me first' attitude that can get them into trouble according to Ms Romanov.

Lee Romanov president of the web site was astounded to find that driving ability was seemingly directly influenced by astrological signs. Postcodes are less important now for quoting car insurance rates, even age is no longer a main factor, she stated.

Here you go ladies!

Here is a brief breakdown of each signs driving traits from worst to best:

Libra

Sept 23-Oct 22

Libra craves balance and does not like to make rash decisions. This is not a good driving characteristic, as rush hour often requires quick reactions.

Aquarius

Jan 20-Feb 18

Aquarius is almost the exact opposite of Libra. While Libras do not like to make rushed decisions, Aquarius is quite impulsive. Add to that fact that they are ruled by the planet of speed and rebellion and that just spells automobile trouble.

Aries

Mar 21-Apr 19

Aries the Ram has a â€œme firstâ€ nature, taking the lead before giving others the opportunity. This makes an eventual accident almost unavoidable.

Pisces

Feb 19-Mar20

Pisces is not forceful like Aries, but more of a daydreamer. Driving requires complete attention, something many Pisces cannot give it.

Scorpio

Oct 23-Nov 21

Scorpios are often perfect examples of road rage, given their instinct to seek revenge on people who wrong them. Cut them off in traffic and they may just follow you to cut you off as well.

Taurus

Apr 20-May 20

Taurus suffers an animal sign problem, just like Aries. Taurus the Bull can be bullheaded and their stubbornness may cause them to charge at a red light.

Sagittarius

Nov 22-Dec 21

Sagittarius likes to take risks. Fortunately, they are experienced at taking risks, but they also like to talk, so you may often see a Sagittarius on the phone while driving. This means they are not devoting 100% of their attention to driving.

Capricorn

Dec 22-Jan 19

Capricorns are often goal orientated. They may be more concerned about their final destination than how they get there. They may feel road rules are for the other drivers, not them.

Virgo

Aug 23-Sept 22

Virgos are very detail orientated. While they do not mind slamming on their breaks to avoid hitting something, they may not be considering the pileup it might cause behind them.

Cancer

June 21-July 22

Cancers are homebodies and even while out on the road, they may consider other drivers part of their extended family. However, they are extremely moody. They may beep without any provocation.

Gemini

May 21-June 20

Geminis are great at multi-tasking. They may be able to drive while applying makeup, changing the radio station, and drinking a coffee, but this not the optimum driving scenario.

Leo

Jul 23-Aug 22

Leos are generous and sharing on the highway, but it may be their ego that drives them to be the best drivers on the road.

Each person is an individual and these are only generalisations based on astrological signs. Of course, if you are a Libra, you may recognise from this article that an area of your driving needs work. Remember that despite what driving traits your astrological sign may give you, you have the free will to overcome them.

:wah::wah: Oh dear. Yes, I cuss other roadusers but only if they obviously just don't know how to drive. Other than that I'm a perfect driver

OMG!!! i'm always slamming on the brakes to miss dogs and cats and squirrels or anything else that might be in the road!

i've always said that'll probably be the way i'll die, i'll swerve to miss something in the road one day and hit a tree!

Tiger won in sudden death. I was rooting for Rocko. It was an excellent golf game to watch.

Well when I was driving my 1973 Camaro I would love to slam on the brakes and look in my rear view mirrow and see the fear on their faces, they knew they would be a heap of metal if they hit me. :driving: Now that I parked the Camaro and drive a 2005 Honda CIVIC I'm always looking in the rear view mirrow to make sure no one slams into me, as I would be the heap of metal. :p

Woohoo! I'm a Leo and I'm quite chuffed that I'm a good driver!!!

I'm currently having a career change and I'm training to be a driving instructor so perhaps I should check pupils star signs before I take them out!!!
