Car insurance offenders and motor policy angels

Is a lifeguard more likely to call upon his car insurance than an astrologer in the event of an at-fault accident? Well, yes, according to research from moneysupermarket.com.

Surprisingly, Doctors are more likely to have a car accident than a mobile hairdresser. So, go ahead, see if your profession is up there with the worst car insurance offenders, or are you in with the 'safe-crowd' and friend of the car insurance company?

Most likely to have an at-fault accident are:

1. Lifeguard - 13.79 per cent
2. Tobacconist - 13.64 per cent
3. Doctor/ GP - 12.96 per cent
4. Surgeon 12.76 per cent
5. Systems Analyst 12.59 per cent
6. Psychiatrist 12.55 per cent
7. Gynaecologist 12.5 per cent
8. Insurance Inspector 12.44 per cent
9. Psychologist 12.33 per cent
10. Meteorologist 12.26 per cent

And the least likely:

1. Astrologer 1.75 per cent
2. Watchmaker 2.05 per cent
3. Driving examiner 2.63 per cent
4. Chimney sweep 2.67 per cent
5. Boilerman 3.21 per cent
6. Actor 3.33 per cent
7. Mobile hairdresser 3.4 per cent
8. Driving instructor 3.49 per cent
9. Promoter 3.6 per cent
10. Gravedigger 3.83 per cent

Perhaps we should assume that the astrologers saw the accidents coming and so were able to avoid them, and that, at the very least, in an accident the life guards might be able to save people.
