Zodiac Underwriting Guide to Drivers

September 19, 2005

Affable Aquarius
(January 21 – February 19)

The gentle qualities of Aquarius are reflective in an average claims record on all counts. Aquarian drivers consider themselves sensible, responsible and family-oriented with a relaxed, patient attitude toward driving.

Star driver: Zsa Zsa Gabor, Dick Cheney, Charles Darwin, Bob Marley.

Polite Pisces
(February 20 – March 20)

Pisceans modestly consider themselves to be the most sensible and responsible drivers on the road, with a relatively confident and considerate approach to handling the perils of fellow drivers. This positive attitude apparently pays off-they recorded one of the lowest numbers of claims for accidental damage.

Star driver: Ralph Nader, Alan Greenspan, Anais Nin, John Steinbeck.

Aggressive Aries
(March 21 – April 20)

Maintaining an even temper behind the wheel seems to be quite a challenge for Aries drivers-a third admitted they frequently become aggressive and impatient with other drivers. Curiously, they also declare themselves to be the smartest and safest drivers. But with one of the highest number of claims records amongst the group, that claim could be argued.

Star driver: Quentin Tarantino, Pope Benedict the XVI, Marcel Marceau, Vincent Van Gogh.

Tight Taurus
(April 21 – May 21)

Bulls proved solid and steady. Taurus drivers appear to be a relatively safe bet on the road, reporting an average number of claims across all areas. But hold on to your hats. Despite an impressive safety record, Taurus drivers confessed to a passion for speed.

Star driver: Sadam Hussein, Ryan Leaf, David Beckham, Tony Blair.

Judicious Gemini
(May 22 – June 21)

Gemini drivers consider themselves to be safe, sensible and considerate behind the wheel, behaving responsibly and patiently toward fellow drivers. This correlates with them reporting the lowest level of claims. But while twin one portrays a vision of calm, twin two needs to pay more attention to security because Geminis also report the highest number of claims for theft.

Star driver: Allen Iverson, F. Lee Bailey, Bob Dylan, John F. Kennedy, Henry Kissinger.

Carefree Cancer
(June 22 – July 23)

Cancers believe themselves to be responsible and considerate drivers, but the number of insurance claims reported tells a different story. This birth sign reports the highest number of claims overall.

Star driver: Mike Tyson, Steve Forbes, O.J. Simpson, Donald Rumsfeld, George W. Bush.

Lighted Leo
(July 24 – August 23)

Perhaps better suited to the open plains than the open road, Leo drivers follow hot on the heels of Cancer, recording the second highest number of overall insurance claims. Passengers should buckle up and prepare for the rage of a lion-Leos were found to be the fastest and most impatient drivers of the group.

Star driver: Kobe Bryant, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wynona Rider, Osama Bin Laden, Bill Clinton.

Volatile Virgo
(August 24 – September 23)

Two out of three Virgo drivers admit to lack of confidence behind the wheel. A further 25 percent reveal they are hesitant and easily distracted drivers. Thus, it comes as no surprise to find that Virgo drivers top the list of those reporting an accident for which they were responsible. But overall, Virgo drivers should be proud of an average claims record and other drivers could learn from a near perfect security record.

Star driver: Michael Jackson, Jason Priestley, Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman),Chris Tucker.

Lucid Libra
(September 24 – October 23)

Noting the alleged levelheaded nature of Libra drivers, it’s not surprising they have an average claims history. Libras proved to be dependable and safe on the road.

Star driver: Charlie Brown, Teresa Heinz Kerry, F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Snappy Scorpio
(October 24 – November 22)

The sting of the Scorpio driver is clear from the number claims made-among the highest of the group. Scorpio drivers confessed impatience towards other drivers on the road, evident from an above average number of claims for accidental damage.

Star driver: Hillary Rodham Clinton, Bill Gates, Walter Cronkite, Count Dracula.

Serene Sagittarius
(November 23 – December 22)

With an honest characteristic, the archer shines on the road, second only to Geminis as the safest drivers. Sagittarius drivers also display an almost impeccable safety record. Their passengers can be at ease with a calm and composed Sagittarius at the wheel.

Star driver: Bruce Lee, Sasquatch, Jim Morrison, Frank Sinatra.

Commanding Capricorn
(December 23 – January 20)

Beware the Capricorn. Calling themselves powerful and impatient, Goats are not a force to reckon with, especially in light of the fact that they reported one of the highest numbers of claims for accidental damage.

Star drivers: Richard Nixon, Muhammad Ali, Al Capone, Benjamin Franklin.
