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’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.”
I just know that f*cker’s a Cancer.
What’s that word I am looking for? Oh, right. BULLSHIT.
As a Gemini, I applaud this result. I think my insurance rates should be lower, and, consequently, others’ rates should be higher.
You Virgos are just so skeptical…
Oh, dear.
This explains a lot for me. I’m born on almost the exact cusp between Cancer and Leo. I’m certainly “generous, and comfortable in sharing the roadwayâ€Â, but I can spew a stream of profanity enough to make a sailor blush at other drivers…in the privacy of my car.
Like all things astrologically related, it’s still bullshit.
Maybe he meant that he wouldn’t want to get into a 25-year-old Aries.
Which, absent the picture, could spawn any number of misunderstanding of its own…
Maybe I should amend “f*cker” to something else, seeing as Lee is a woman (as it turns out). But I’m trying not to be sexist.
So I can use my status as a Libra as an excuse next time (another out of many, I lost count) I am selected to pay the police-enforced Austin highway-commuting tax? “Sorry about that 83mph in a 55 zone, officer, but I’m a Libra. what’s your sign, big boy?”
This being Texas, I think if the traffic officer isn’t feeling nice that might get me a nightstick enema. This being Austin, he might lube it first.
tw cars29 – yikes…
Which may explain all the problems I have because my sign read “Pennsylvania Turnpike – 5 Miles”
Pshaw. Us Capricorns don’t believe in astrology.
I take it you people have never met an Aries.
I drove one once. Never did get the whole “K-Car” thing Iacocca was ranting about.
Aries was a weeny.
Zeus is da man!!!
