Driving Signs and Astrological Rankings

Most people are aware that astrology and their astrological sign can affect many aspects of their lives. However, you may never have stopped to think about how your astrological sign can affect your driving habits. Lee Romanov, the president of InsuranceHotline.com, has written a book titled “Car Carma”, which looks at how your zodiac sign can affect personal driving habits, and how that can in turn increase or decrease your chances of being involved in an accident, getting a ticket or paying a higher premium for car insurance.

To see why there was a variance between insurance companies’ high and low rates, Romanov compared 100,000 drivers from North America, looking at their driving records, including the number of tickets and accidents, and then at their astrological sign. A pattern emerged: drivers of certain signs were more likely to get tickets or be in an accident than others.

Which signs were most prone to driving tickets? Number one was Pisces, followed by Aries, Aquarius, Capricorn and Libra. The least likely to get tickets were Virgo, Sagittarius and Gemini. Libra was the sign most likely to be involved in an accident, followed by Scorpio, Capricorn, Aries and Aquarius. Least likely to be in an accident were Gemini, Cancer and Leo.

Here is a brief breakdown of each sign’s driving traits, from worst to best.

Libra: 23 September to 22 October

Libra craves balance and does not like to make rash decisions. This is not a good driving characteristic, as rush hour often requires quick reactions.

Aquarius: 20 January to 18 February

Aquarius is almost the exact opposite of Libra. While Libras do not like to make rushed decisions, Aquarius is quite impulsive. Add to that the fact that they are ruled by the planet of speed and rebellion, and that just spells automobile trouble.

Aries: 21 March to 19 April

Aries the Ram has a “me first” nature, taking the lead before giving others the opportunity. This makes an eventual accident almost unavoidable.

Pisces: 19 February to 20 March

Pisces is not forceful like Aries, but more of a daydreamer. Driving requires complete attention, something many Pisces cannot give it.

Scorpio: 23 October to 21 November

Scorpios are often perfect examples of road rage, given their instinct to seek revenge on people who wrong them. Cut them off in traffic and they may just follow you to cut you off as well.

Taurus: 20 April to 20 May

Taurus suffers an animal sign problem, just like Aries. Taurus the Bull can be bullheaded, and their stubbornness may cause them to charge at a red light.

Sagittarius: 22 November to 21 December

Sagittarius likes to take risks. Fortunately, they are experienced at taking risks, but they also like to talk, so you may often see a Sagittarius on the phone while driving. This means they are not devoting 100% of their attention to driving.

Capricorn: 22 December to 19 January

Capricorns are often goal orientated. They may be more concerned about their final destination than how they get there. They may feel road rules are for the other drivers, not them.

Virgo: 23 August to 22 September

Virgos are very detail orientated. While they do not mind slamming on their brakes to avoid hitting something, they may not be considering the pile up it might cause behind them.

Cancer: 21 June to 22 July

Cancers are homebodies and even while out on the road, they may consider other drivers part of their extended family. However, they are extremely moody. They may beep without any provocation.

Gemini: 21 May to 20 June

Geminis are great at multitasking. They may be able to drive while applying makeup, changing the radio station and drinking a coffee, but this is not the ideal driving scenario.

Leo: 23 July to 22 August

Leos are generous and sharing on the road, but it may be their ego that drives them to be the best drivers out there.

A final word

Each person is an individual and these are only generalisations based on astrological signs. Of course, if you are a Libra, you may recognise from this article that an area of your driving needs work. Remember that whatever driving traits your astrological sign may give you, you have the free will to overcome them.
