Melbourne, Sept 7 : Aquarian and Cancerian drivers are more likely to crash their car, according to a new data.

The report, released by AAMI, suggests that although Aquarians and Cancerians are protective, cautious and intuitive, but when it comes to driving, their performances fall flat.

“Among their more positive traits, Aquarians and Cancerians are said to be protective, cautious and intuitive,” The Daily Telegraph quoted AAMI Corporate Affairs Manager Mike Sopinski, as saying.

“However, their moody, unpredictable, and touchy side may explain why Cancerians and Aquarians are more likely than the average driver to lodge a claim for crash-related car damage,” he added.
