crash prone jobs

[looneybin]

Great, i come in at #3 on the list.
Do they think i have my head in the clouds, not paying attention to what im doing??
Now am i going to get a letter from my insurance carrier that they are raising my rates due to some laughable report about being crash prone.
I better not tell them that i am also left handed, that is supposed to be a higher risk also.

Probably.... No offense but we have had to work with more than a few architects that had their heads in the clouds.....

I wonder if they concidered nationality or rather origan in those numbers, were I live there are a lot of Asian Doctors, China would be their origan mostly. Not to sterotype but there are certain nationalities that just can't drive.

Undertakers and liquor stores always do well. Drink until you die...

I can certainly understand how doctors wind up on that list. I wonder if the statistic is even worse if you consider docs in residency. Every year we'd have at least one resident in the program nod off while driving. That's what you get with 110 work hours per week.

I'm accident free, so why is my life insurance so expensive?

[nynor]

OR New York.


I wonder if those statistics include the "registered vehicles" or the people themselves.


I bet there's a lot of Doctor's wives out there high as hell on prozac a speedin' and a crashin'.

I bet there's a lot of Attorneys out there who think they can get out of speeding tickets.

What an idiotic waste of money!

You gotta' admit the top 3 on the list are all typically workaholics, tired all the time and often quite impatient with the lemmings around them while out driving. It kinda' makes sense - at least to me. I know I can be insanely impatient while out driving when I'm trying to get something done (which is just about always).
