Tipsters- So curiosity got the better of me. It was InsuranceHotline.com who did a survey (of unspecified type, recruitment, etc - I'm still looking but turning that over to a work study student). They surveyed 100,000 (no report I can see of response rate, etc.) drivers and found that result which was "reported in Readers Digest" and then is referenced on their site. (Can you say self-promotion). So it seems so far that there were an unknown number of responses to a survey of 100,000 surveyed. That is a suspiciously round number sounding more like, "those who responded from the 100,000 who look at our web site during x hours", kind of thing but I can't be sure yet. Here is a link to a PDF of the page from Readers Digest: http://www.insurancehotline.com/romanov/romanov54b.pdf Tim

Reuters/Yahoo 12/14/06: "So, what's your sign? You crash here often?" "Never mind how careful you are behind the wheel or how long you've been driving, the signs of the zodiac may be bigger factors behind your ability to avoid car crashes -- or why you have too many. According to a study by InsuranceHotline.com, a Web site that quotes drivers on insurance rates, astrological signs are a significant factor in predicting car accidents."
