So, what's your sign? Finally, the phrase can function as a bona fide conversation starter instead of the eye-roll inducing standby of many a lounge lothario. What's all the hype about? Interestingly enough, new research points to astrology as being a predictor of driving habits.
Upon the completion of its five-year survey, Co-operative Insurance identified a correlation between a driver's zodiac sign and the respective likelihood to be involved in a motor vehicle accident. The U.K. study assessed the temperamental qualities assigned to each star sign by astrologers alongside data from more than 700,000 motor claims that were received between 2003 and 2007.
The report indicated a celestial stalemate of sorts between the late-autumn signs of Sagittarius and Scorpio, which were rated equally as the safest drivers. Despite clashing personalities– intense Scorpio's determination, drive and capability to control extreme emotions are at odds with the mellow Sagittarian propensity toward cheerfulness and even carelessness — the two share prowess on the road. Both boasted the fewest accidents of all the star signs.
