In a new study a motor insurance company reviewed more than a million motorists’ policies and has found that accountants are the most accident prone drivers in the UK. They are closely followed on the list of worst drivers by doctors and solicitors.
Accountants were linked to 16,000 accident claims in 2015 while solicitors accounted for 15,000 claims.
Roofing contractors came out on top as the UK’s safest drivers and compared to accountants they are four times less likely to be involved in an accident.
Finance workers such as bankers and financial advisers are also in the top ten occupations of worst drivers.
Farm workers, cleaners and builders were included in the top five safest drivers.
