Computer engineers worst, farmers best drivers in UK
September 7th, 2009 - 2:29 pm ICT by ANILondon, Sept 7 (ANI): Road accident records in the UK show that computer engineers are the worst drivers on the road, while farmers are the best.
Authorities at the Churchill Car Insurance say that computer engineers have made maximum claims for road crashes in the past three years.
Sales managers were ranked second in the list of professionals claiming insurance, followed by chefs, students, and doctors.
Farmers emerged as the cleanest drivers, for they had the best road safety records on the basis of insurance claims made.
Aircraft fitters, stores personnel, and ambulance drivers were next in the list.
“The poorer claims experience associated with computer engineers, sales managers, chefs and doctors most likely reflects the long hours they work in a very stressful job,” the Scotsman quoted Tony Chilcott, head of Churchill Car Insurance, as saying.
He added: “Farmers have a lower claims frequency because they live and work in rural areas with less congestion, which are likely to be more tranquil.” (ANI)
