This is your driving style according to your zodiac sign! Does your description fit?

Does your driving style match the description?

Some people are awful at parallel parking while others do it flawlessly without a second thought. The fact that some people are simply better at driving a car than others has to do with spatial awareness, patience and control. But that’s not the only thing that is of influence. Your zodiac sign also decides what kind of driver you are.

It’s written in the stars.

Research

Are you driving around like a crazy Cruella de Vil or do you recognise yourself more in clumsy Mr Bean’s driving style? The way you drive is written in the stars. Astrologist Debbie Frank did research in partnership with an insurance company to find out whether your star sign can influence the way you drive. For this research, she interviewed 2000 people about their star sign and their driving style. By studying their answers, she recognised a pattern in the driving styles.

Capricorn (22 December – 19 January)

Capricorns are very careful when they’re driving. You won’t see them getting a speeding ticket anytime soon because they’re sticklers for the rules. A Capricorn places a lot of value on trust and safety. Out of the star signs, Capricorns are the least concerned about the environment and they won’t actively look for a car with low CO2 emissions.

Aquarius (20 January – 19 February)

An Aquarius is easily distracted and that’s exactly why one out of three people with this star sign have to try three or more times before they get their license. The Aquarius likes to have a drink, so they will very rarely be the designated driver at a party. They like to drive around in cars with extravagant colours. More than 10 per cent of people with this star sign has a purple car and seven per cent likes to see themselves driving around in a yellow car. The Aquarius likes to stand out.

Pisces (19 February – 20 March)

Pisces are very serious about hygiene which is why many of them clean their car at least once a month. They are very relaxed drivers and having a nice car is very important to them. That’s why they like to drive a sports car or a different type of flashy car.

Aries (21 March – 19 April)

Aries aren’t known for their self-control in traffic. Research shows that 28 per cent of Aries doesn’t take the other people on the road into account. Aries attach a lot of value to having a nice car. Another fun fact: Aries are most likely to give their cars a nickname. These are also the people who most often forget to lock their cars.

Taurus (20 April – 20 May)

Data provided by the insurance company shows that the Taurus has the biggest chance of getting a fender bender. Why is this? Well, it turns out people with this star sign are very bad at parking – the worst out of all star signs, actually. One in four Taurus drivers admits to having hit something while parking at some point. The Taurus is stubborn and won’t usually choose the easiest road.

Gemini (21 May – 20 June)

Geminis love to drive and they know what they’re doing. No less than 57 per cent of them managed to get their license the first time around. Geminis are reliable drivers and they prefer to sit behind the wheel themselves instead of being driven by someone else. That’s why they always criticise other people’s driving styles, which can cause a lot of frustration when you’ve got a Gemini with you in the passenger seat.

Cancer (21 June – 22 July)

When it comes to parking, Cancers score the highest. They’ve got a lot of confidence when they have to park and they never have any trouble parking anywhere. This mostly has to do with the fact that Cancers are careful.

Leo (23 July – 22 August)

The Leo is competitive, so it’s not that strange that a lot of Leos get their license in one go. Leos are real speed demons as well. If you see a car speeding, there’s a good chance there’s a Leo behind the wheel. They take the speed limits with a grain of salt; 37 per cent of them regularly drive faster than the speed limit.

Virgo (23 August – 22 September)

The Virgo thinks a lot about their ecological footprint. Seventy-two per cent of them says that they would like to own an electric car. Virgos derive a lot of joy from driving; no less than 79 per cent loves to get behind the wheel and go for a drive.

Libra (23 September – 22 October)

Libras might appear calm, but on the inside, they can truly rage in traffic. This is because Libras can’t stand injustice and easily lose their temper because of that. Just like the Virgo, the Libra is concerned with a green driving style.

Scorpio (23 October – 21 November)

Scorpios are careful drivers and rarely have to appeal to their insurance because of that. The Scorpio doesn’t need to drive in the newest or fanciest car but prefers a reliable secondhand car.

Sagittarius (22 November – 21 December)

The most polite driver? That’s the Sagittarius, without a doubt. The Sagittarius is very gracious in traffic and has a very calm and relaxed nature. They keep their head in the game when they’re driving and they rarely forget to lock their cars.
