Turns out there might be some connection between your astrological sign and propensity for getting into an accident! Fascinating.

By the way, Leo's rule!!!

TORONTO, Dec 13 (Reuters Life!) - Never mind how careful you are behind the wheel or how long you've been driving, the signs of the zodiac may be bigger factors behind your ability to avoid car crashes -- or why you have too many. 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.

"I was absolutely shocked by the results," said Lee Romanov, president of Toronto-based InsuranceHotline.com, who also wrote the book "Car Carma" which touches on the correlation between astrological signs and driving ability while doing the study.

Romanov originally wanted to have some fun by examining astrological signs as a possible cause for the variance between insurance companies quoting high and low rates but didn't expect to find anything interesting.

"Now, changing postal codes is far less significant to me than drivers of certain astrological signs," she told Reuters on Wednesday.

Even age, another variable for determining insurance rates, is less of a consideration to Romanov. The cutoff line for being considered a higher risk driver is 24 years of age; 25-year-olds are considered not-high risk.
"I'd rather get into a car with a 24-year-old Leo than a 25-year-old Aries," Romanov said.

Leos, described along with the study results on InsuranceHotline.com/a10.html, are "generous, and comfortable in sharing the roadway."

Aries, on the other hand, "have a 'me first' childlike nature that drives Aries into trouble."

"I wasn't believing in it before," said Romanov, "but I would think twice before getting into a car with an Aries."

This year I finally saved up enough money and time off to take a WHOLE week off.  I am so excited.  I made the mistake of telling my mom in my excitment about how everything was already paid and I was so happy that we finally get to take a vacation instead of just going to the local lake for a day or 2.  So she had my dad take that whole week off from work and  she is going to try to get as many days as she can with her other off days so they can join us on our vacation.  I love my mother and father and sister a lot, but I worked so hard for this and there will already be 5 of us in the hotel room!!!!  Plus we usually get in fights about things like putting my children in one seat together with one seatbelt so we all can take one vehicle WHICH IS ILLEGAL and UNSAFE!!!  I dont want to argue on my vacation, I just want to relax.  I tried to tell her there isnt enough room.  I tried to tell her that we won't have a lot of money for going out since I paid for the room and everything.  I have just enough for my family to enjoy a nice time.  She offered to pay me $100 bucks, but that is nothing compared to what I paid for a whole week!  She is acting like it is just like her coming to my house.  IT IS NOT!!!  I should not have to feed them, pay for their room, blah blah blah.  If I had enough room and money I would love for them to come, but darn it I just want a nice vacation with my family that we have not had since my 4yo was a baby!  What do you think I should do???  SORRY SO LONG.  This is more of a vent.  SORRY!!!
