Can Your Job Affect Your Driving

If you believe the old saying that you are what you eat, it follows in the business of car insurance that you are likely to drive what is on your mind. In a simple term, when people are stressed and in a hurry, then they tend involve in more accidents.

Recently a reputed website released their list of top most crash-prone professions. And not surprisingly, the list probably matches well with the types of jobs your mother always thought you would do one day.

Perhaps this is a sign that people who are most involved in accidents tend to have the most stressful job. Here is a list of some most crash-prone jobs:

Lawyers: Each year, in every 1,000 lawyers, average 106 accidents and 37 speeding tickets.

Doctors: Each year, in every 1,000 doctors in average 109 accidents and 44 speeding tickets.

Real estate brokers: Each year, in every 1,000 real estate brokers average 102 accidents and speeding tickets.

Architects: Each year, in every 1,000 architects, average 105 accidents and 72 speeding tickets.

Social workers: Each Year, in every 1,000 enlisted social workers average 98 accidents and 33 speeding tickets.

Did you find your profession on the list? Don’t be astonished if you fall into one of the above categories. While there some car insurance policies will be asking your profession when they write your policy. It is unlikely that you will be penalized if you tell them you are lawyer or doctor.

Car insurance policies are the representative of a number of factors, not the least of which is your driving record and the location of the car when it is parked at night. No policy is given only on a piece of data such as profession.
