that's crazy!

but, i gotta say from asking a few people it seems true!

i'm an aquarian and i've got 2 at fault accidents, speeding tickets, driving on the wrong side of the road, and other moving & equipment violations. my girlfriend is a gemini and has a clean record

Number 1 Worst :
Libra - Sept. 23 to Oct. 22 Libra is the "sign of the scales", it craves balance and consensus. Libra doesn’t like to make snap decisions. But rush hour traffic is not a time for seeking driver approval, or for being indecisive.
2nd Worst Position :
Aquarius - Jan. 20 to Feb. 18 They’re impulsive, and ruled by the Planet of speed and rebellion. Aquarians need to get a better grip behind the wheel.
3rd Worst Position :
Aries - Mar. 21 to Apr. 19
Its symbol is the ram. Not good a sign to have for avoiding accidents. Aries have a "me first" child-like nature, that drives Aries into trouble.
4th Worst Position :
Pisces - Feb. 19 to Mar. 20 This sign enjoys daydreaming. So wake up Pisces, driving in the “real world" requires your complete attention.
5th Worst Position :
Scorpio - Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

The scorpion’s instinct is to get revenge, and driving is the perfect avenue to vent a little Scorpion road rage. If you pass a Scorpio, plan on being chased.
6th Worst Position :
Taurus - Apr. 20 to May 20 The astrological sign for Taurus is the bull. They’re stubborn, and have an urge to charge at red lights.
7th Worst Position :
Sagittarius - Nov. 22 to Dec. 21 They’re risk-takers, but they’re experienced risk takers, and know that stunt driving should be left to the professionals. This is a talkative group, and they should consider putting their cell phone down and just driving.
8th Worst Position :
Capricorn - Dec. 22 to Jan. 19 Capricorn is goal oriented. They’re more concerned about the destination than the journey. They feel that the rules of the road are for other drivers to follow so that Capricorns can get to their destination faster.
9th Worst Position :
Virgo - Aug. 23 to Sept. 22 Virgos have a nervous attention to detail. They made the cover of the Car Carma book. They’d be slamming their brakes on to avoid hitting a squirrel, but cause a 10 car pile-up.
3rd Best Position :
Cancer - June 21 to July 22 They’re homebodies, and consider the roadway of drivers their extended family. But they’re a moody group, and would be the ones to honk at you for no reason at all.
2nd Best Position :
Gemini - May 21 to June 20
Geminis are the original multi-taskers. They can eat, drink, read the newspaper, shave, or apply make-up all while driving, although this is NOT recommended, even if you're a Gemini. It’s the sign of the twins; while one is driving the other co-pilots.
Number 1 Best :
Leo - Jul. 23 to Aug. 22 Leo is generous, and comfortable in sharing the roadway. They‘re known for having a huge ego, which is their driving force to be the best.

[Dave]

allow me to wreck your curve, aquarius. no accidents, no tickets, no hits, no steals, no nothing. that stuff is bupkiss

Did get pulled over for being "white" once though

[poolmike]

I'm a Pisces.

2 at fault accidents- one definitely my fault, the other one...no way

I have been hit so many times I can hardly remember...

My old small block powered low rider S-10- got hit on L-town parkway while I was waiting to turn into Taco Bell. A couple of weeks later, hit at a red light on Newtown Bypass.

My '84 GTI- Only owned this car long enough to get the Title back from PennDOT, then sold to a buddy. In that time, I got hit by a mentally challenged individual while on the drive around Oxford Valley Mall. I was in the outside lane when this guy pulled up next to me...looked right over at me, then proceeded to put me into the curb. As mad as I was, I laughed my a$$ off. As bad as the hit sounded, there was only a torn up sidewall and a scratch on my door.

'83 Toyota truck- a woman backed into me while I was waiting to pull out of 7-11 parking lot in Newtown

'95 Toyota truck- another hit from behind on Newtown Bypass

'72 Chevy truck- hit from behind on Buck Road at Middle Holland Road.

'68 Kaiser- I was waiting to pull out of Richboro Wawa when a woman backed out of a parking space and destroyed the back of her husband's Nissan truck when she hit me. The Nissan's tailgate was dangling from the hinge, the bumper was in a 'V' shape, both bedsides were buckled. The Kaiser had a slightly bent bumperette, which I think was bent before the incident

Then some dude in a Lime Green Civic parked himself windshield deep under the back of the Kaiser on Newtown/Richboro Road when I was stopped at the back of traffic line. My rear wheels were off the ground, so I put it in 4x4 to pull off of his hood. My hitch made a clean incision on the Honda hood from windshield to bumper. The car was destroyed, and the dude claimed that he had no insurance, so I left him there for dead.

That is all I can remember for now...

That is soo true for me...I um...text while driving?

[Dave]

"They’re impulsive, and ruled by the Planet of speed and rebellion"

now that i look at it, this part at least does fit me. I tend to make decisions fast and I have some mild problems with authority ;)

[ibepressin]

Leo here, never 1 accident been driving 17 years. But maybe I just know how to drive? Then again... I'm just lucky. When pulled over I get down on my knees for the cop until I either see the ticket book " big pad in PA" then I bust his balls like no other. Or the warning pad "Small pad in PA" then I continue to be the upstanding citizen I obviously am.

[Buster]

Im a Gemini, ask Susie what I can do while driving.

[IntegrasAreBest]

haha im a libra and its true! 15 points, 3 accidents. haha

[olmytsi]

Too bad im a cancer and i am not moody and i never honk at ppl let alone for no reason...

[CobaltGrl]

you would be the ONLY Cancer in the world who isnt moody then ...damn crabs

[ITSTOCK]

Pisces - Feb. 19 to Mar. 20 This sign enjoys daydreaming. So wake up Pisces, driving in the “real world" requires your complete attention.

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLL YEAH! I love daydreaming while driving. I make car sounds, check out the other drivers, cars, roadkill, ANYTHING but the actual traffic. I only have 1 (self-inflicted) accident though, and 1 ticket so I can't be that bad...no close calls either (and my accident and ticket were when I was 16, so 5 years with nothing).

[Renegade_]

I'm an Aquarius - 2 accidents. I was rear ended twice... so none my fault... No tickets either.

i got rear ended in washington state by an off duty police officer who was drunk


ended up being my fault

[99SL2_Modder]

I think it's true for the most part.

I'm a combination of many of those things, but to be honest, I've really only gotten hit for 1 thing in my driving career.

I got pulled over for doing 58 in a 35. In my defense, I went to pass a guy that was doing 15mph for no reason, and just wasn't paying attention and blew through a 3 cop speed trap. They hit me for tint too (before I got it darkened). No fix-it, just a "pay this".

I blew past cops doing almost a buck, my windows are about a 10% tint, I've been in 2 accidents with this car, neither of which was my fault. On my Firebird, I've been running it open headers for the past month or so and haven't gotten stopped. Flooring it down 13, going too fast for the speedometer to read with the secondaries suckin it in, I saw the light ahead change so I stopped. A cop rolled out of the DD and pulled up next to me and pointed at my window. I rolled it down and he said, "Sounds nice! Launch that sucker.". So I launched it at the light change and continued to do the speed limit afterwards. They zoomed by and gave 2 honks.

Hell, when I got my saturn back on the road, I got hit the first day I started driving it. My stickers were 3 months out of date or so, and I was driving it to school because I had an appointment for after school to get it checked out. Wouldn't you know, the 10 minute trip from my hours to school, I get stopped 50 yards from school for expired stickers. He let me go and told me to make sure I get it taken care of.

I guess I'm just lucky, but I really shouldn't be. I'm still cautious, but my driving style is quite aggressive.

Leo, FTW. August 8th.
