Hmmm…. according to this, I should feel better about AC as a driver one day:
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.
OTOH, they rate Aries as amongst the “scary drivers”… but I and my perfect driving record are here to tell you that this is… um… hogwash. Guess I’ll stick with those gut-clenching, sleep-losing worries about my little Leo behind the wheel of a car for a while.
In other news, a group of scientists attempting to map the edge of the world have disappeared, presumably lost to sea monsters.
Wow… I wonder when the auto insurance companies will tie this in with credit ratings and our DNA profiles to raise our rates once again.

Polimom,
Maybe they just fell off the edge? Scientists can be very absent minded . . . .
I’m a Libra and have never gotten a ticket when driving a non-red car. I actually haven’t gotten in one in the last five years and haven’t had an accident ( which was my responsibility) for longer than that. I must admit tha the person who backed into me causing several thousand dollars damage a couple of years ago might have been under th influence of the stars, but I wasn’t moving.
mominem brings in a whole slew of other possible combinations.
For instance, my Aries status would seem to make me high-risk (according to this article)… but did they factor in, say, my hair color? Or my height? Perhaps short, slim, red-haired Aries are riskier than tall slim brunettes like me?
And now I don’t know what to think about AC. Her Leo status as a lower-risk driver might be affected if the vehicle she drives is blue… or if she is wearing sneakers rather than loafers.
Clearly, we need more research!
