laurainlimbo: (gemini)

I just happened to read this article , about traits that reveal what kind of driver you are, and I have to say it's full of shit!!

like this for instance:
Astrological Signs most likely to crash:
September 2008 study of over 115,000 car insurance claims by Accident Exchange, a British accident management company, analyzed car accident rates by astrological sign. And sorry, Gemini, but your sign tops the list as the most likely to be involved in an accident. The next two most likely signs to crash are Taurus and Aries.


I take offense at that!! They don't even say why Geminis are most likely to cause accidents! I'm a Gemini and have only actually caused ONE accident in the 20+ years I've been driving. I'm an extremely cautious driver.

and what, did they just choose three successive astrological signs (March, April, and May) for their study? Ridiculous!

And this is not accurate either: Seattle is number 3 in the top five most courteous driving cities. I lived there for only six months, but have visited and driven there quite often - and let me tell you, the drivers were certainly not courteous to me when I was driving a bit too slow, or if I wasn't sure where I was going. And why is Chicago not on this list of cities at all??

but the last sentence of the article REALLY MAKES ME MAD:
Now that I know the stats, I’ll let the Gemini drivers speed past me on the highway and I’ll keep an eye out for surgeons on the road.

I want to find out where this little twat lives and run her off the road!! and then go have a drink with all the surgeons.
how's that for road rage??
