What does your zodiac sign have anything to do with the way you drive your car?


I'd be damned.

If you found yourself involved in one fender-bender too many, or if you simply couldn't resist "kissing" the car in front of you, check your zodiac sign. According to an article from Yahoo!News, your zodiac sign says a lot about your ability to avoid car crashes.

And, to add insult to injury, the article says that - yes, you guessed it - Libras like yours truly (born September 23-October 22), are the worst perpetrator of auto offences and accidents. This is followed by the Aquarians (January 20-February 18). Any wonder why I accidentally grazed the side of my car against the pillar while leaving the basement carpark at Tampines Mall? Or the smooch I gave the car (the idiotic driver should have moved on when the traffic was clear) in front of me while trying to filter out of the slip road at Simei Road?

Accidents happen. Hey, sometimes my car kisses; and other times, it get kissed - perhaps by libras, too?

This is so weird. Something tells me to treat that article with a pinch of salt.

And Victor, STOP sniggering. The best drivers are Leos (July 23-August 22), followed by Geminis (May 21-June 20). You, too, are off the mark.

*Sniggering*

You conveniently forgot to mention two other incidents:

First, you grazed MGC's car bumper while parking your previous car, a very small Nissan March which most average drivers would have no problem parking. (Remember using my car polish to try to remove the scratches on MGC's car?)

Second, you slid back on a slope and let the car behind you "touch your backside"?

Muahahaha. Now I am really convinced of your Zodiac sign might have something to do with all this.

SNIGGER for all you want. At least now I know it's not entirely my fault wat. My star is to be blamed.

Have you heard this one?

I don't believe in Zodiac signs. We Virgoes are very skeptics.

Gemini I am but this year hasn't exactly been good. Blame it on the reckless hot-blooded impatient drivers

Chun See's comment is quite contraditory in content. I believe in stars up to a certain extent like it is accurate only in generalisation. Harold Wilson the former UK labour PM, though a terribly busy man, has a very strange past-time, going to an uninhabitated island to get away from the maddening crowd, actually a loner by nature. I am also a loner, something in common ? Both of us are PISCES.

Victor said...

Hey Zen, that makes 3 of us.

Chris Sim said...

Victor - where got 3 pisces? U and Zen only, rite mathematician? Who give a hoot who this Harold Wilson is ... Hahaha..

Chun See - One of those "oxymoron" statements you're known to make ....

Zen - one of Pisces traits is "timid". Lol. No wonder dun want to meet me and Victor. We won't bite one lah... wahahahaha...

Iml - not by libras, I hope....

Victor - You really surprise me for being a Pisces. In my mind, you are an active, daring and direct type of person. That is why I believe the star stuff is nothing but a generalisatio.

Chris - Not being defensive, I believe one mustn't assume that when a person is timid in his younger days could not, through time, make improvement to his or her personal traits, at least to a certain extent. As a matter of interest, my father, was also a Pisces, very active when young - trade unionist, MP assistant, member of many associations, and took part time studies. Some thing happened when he retired, he became a loner. He travelled to many countries alone, near or far. Went around every hooks and corners of Singapore alone, seldom with family members or friends. When talking about astrology, I really wonder whether he was truly a PISCES(?)

Chris Sim said...

Well, Zen... I suppose this astrology things are pretty subjective. It's crap to those who do not believe in it, and probably means something for those who do. Juz the fortune telling. Sometimes, it depends on what we believe. For instance, I'm sure you've read about how some people killed themselves after being told by fortune-teller that they would die on certain date? Some couldn't handled such rubbish and chose to kill themselves instead. So, in a way, the "crap" became a reality? Fated?

Chris - I incline to believe that fortune telling is crap but there was incident that I really fail to understand up to this very day. During my younger days, I was very naive and sometimes visited fortune-tellers. On one occasion, I went to see one, a young Indian, staying in Serangoon Garden, with my friend S K Loh. After reading my friend fortune, we left. I was doubtful of this fortune teller's ability and therefore mine was not read. Earlier the fortune teller told my friend that when young my friend aspired to be a sailor ....So I confirmed with Loh later whether this guy was throwing smoke. To my surprise, Loh said: "yes, I really wanted to be a sailor when I was around the age of 15 ". The next question that begged for an answer - how did this Indian guy know my friend's aspiration of becoming a sailor ?
