Teen allegedly mistakes tomato for pot
NORTHBROOK, Ill., Jan. 28 (UPI) -- Illinois-based Allstate Insurance said its analysis of car accidents related to astrology found Virgos were the most likely to crash vehicles.
The company said its comparison of 2010 claims data against the revised astrological calendar found Virgos were involved in 211,650 collisions last year, 700 percent more than the 26,833 crashes involving Scorpios, the safest drivers on the zodiac calendar.
Allstate said Ophiuchus, the "new" sign added in the revised calendar, was the second-safest sign for motorists, followed by Cancer, Aquarius, Libra, Aries, Capricorn, Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces, Taurus and Leo.
The insurance company said signs associated with "compassion," "graciousness" and "resourcefulness" were found to be the least likely to be involved in accidents while those described as "uncompromising," "arrogant" and "impatient" were more likely to crash their cars.
