Confused.com Reveals the Careers Driving Crashes

CARDIFF, Wales, November 25, 2010 - Confused.com research has revealed that, despite the fact they should be
the most savvy of all professions when it comes to accidents and injuries,
GPs are actually the most hazardous drivers in the UK.

The new study found that GPs top the table as the occupation with the
highest number of car insurance (www.confused.com/) claims, with 33%
of those registered with the price comparison site claiming in the past year.

Furthermore, those in a medical profession appeared most frequently in
the top ten (50%). Closely following GPs were: psychologists (30%), district
nurses (30%), hospital doctors (29%) and dentists (27%).

Even having 20-20 eyesight doesn't seem to mean drivers are exempt from a
crash - opticians proved a sight for sore eyes with 27% claiming for an
incident in the last 12 months. Law-abiding policemen joined them in the top
20 with 26% making a claim.

When it comes to salary, high earners such as solicitors and accountants
are most likely to make a claim, contributing to 65% of the top 20. In
contrast, manual labourers appear to be the safest drivers with 85% of the
bottom 20 made up of carpet fitters, decorators and plasterers. Other 'safe'
drivers from the manual labour industries include farm workers (10%),
construction workers (10%), painter/decorators (11%) and mechanics (11%). Car
valeters came out as the least likely to make a claim with only 8% putting in
the paperwork last year.

Will Thomas, head of Motor Insurance at Confused.com, said: "The findings
really challenge perceptions of motorist profiles. Typically, people would
expect a painter, decorator or the 'White Van Man' to be more likely to have
an accident than a doctor or accountant but the survey shows quite the
opposite. It's also rather interesting that five medical professions appear
in the top ten. Perhaps the long hours and work related stress associated
with such professions might explain their diminishing attention levels whilst
on the road. What's ultimately important is that drivers choose the right
insurance policy for their lifestyle so that they're adequately covered
should an accident happen."
