More Car Crashes Can Be because of Your Stars!

That might sound strange but that is exactly what is being claimed by an Australian insurance company AAMI, based on their AAMI Crash Index.

AAMI reviewed more than 212,000 insurance claims that it received nationally over the 2007 Zodiac year (Dec 22, 2006–Dec 21, 2007). The results are quite astonishing to say the least.

According to the index, Cancerian and Aquarian drivers had the highest claims incidence rate (CIR) of all AAMI-insured drivers.

Although Aquarians and Cancerians are protective, cautious and intuitive, when it comes to driving, their performances fall flat many times because of their moody and unpredictable nature, The Daily Telegraph quoted AAMI Corporate Affairs Manager Mike Sopinski, as saying.

He also said that of all the signs of the Zodiac, Librans and Virgos have the lowest CIR (14.9%) and are less likely than the average driver to have a crash-related claim, making them a safer risk from an insurance perspective.

On the flipside though the Librans car crash damage can be very high compared to other zodiac signs such as Aries whose average car damage claim was seen to be the lowest.

The review of the data by gender showed that Libran women are least likely to crash their car, while Cancerian and Piscean women are most likely to crash.

So all the Cancerians and Aquarians out there, next time when you hit the road…better watch out….
