A person’s astrological sign serves as a predictor for whether or not they are likely to get into a car accident, says a new study.The study ranks astrological signs based on North American driving data, gathered by InsuranceHotline.com’s online quoting service over the last six years. Stanford University professor Keyvan Mohajer collated the data from 100,000 drivers to discover that Libras are the most likely to be involved in an accident and Pisces are the most likely to be ticketed.
