Car Accidents – The Zodiac Connection
“How about the trouble officer?”
If you hear yourself asking this often, then you know what it’s like to get in trouble with the law because of your driving.
Whether it happens frequently or is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, the fact is that some people are more likely to get into these problems than others.
The big question is why?
It seems that there may be a connection between the time of year you were born and your driving habits.
According to a 2006 Insurance Hotline analysis of 100,000 traffic tickets and traffic accidents, a pattern is definitely in evidence. From 12 to 1, from worst to best, here are the results of their research.
