Zodiac-based driving skills

Insurancehotline.com conducted an analysis that associated zodiac signs w/ driver performance. Just curious how many in the MINI community fit these descriptions?

Here are the Astrological Signs that had the most influence over drivers, causing them to have the greatest number of tickets and accidents, from worst to best.
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. 20This 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.

I'm a Libra, and I have not gotten into once accident that was my fault. People seem to want to kill my MINI

I'm a Sagittarius (today's my birthday ). I might be a little bit of a risk taker but I NEVER talk on the cell phone while driving. It's my biggest pet peeve.

Come to think of it, I rarely talk on the cell phone when I'm not driving. My bill is mostly comprised of 1 minute calls

Guess I was born on the wrong day

I am a Taurus & I must say they have me pegged. I always feel an uncontrollable urge to take off like a bat outta hail from a redlight & yet.....
for some reason I can't understand why I don't get better than 24MPG

Why is not liking to make snap descions bad for driving? Shouldn't everything be carefully planned and executed? I would think accidents are caused by snap descions that weren't thought through. Or maybe that's the Libra in me talking...
