I don't place ANY stock in Astrology, but it is fun I certainly don't buy Cancer at number 5 on the list! Diana is a great driver - never gets in accidents, never gets a ticket, but as a Virgo she's rated at number 4! No way!

So, where do you fall on the list? Agree or disagree with your rating?

SYDNEY - Born a Gemini? Watch out on the roads and get insurance.

Better still, have a Capricorn drive your car.

A study released on Monday by Australian financial services group Suncorp Metway Ltd that ranked car accident claimants by star sign found the most accident-prone were Geminis, closely followed by Taureans and then Pisceans.

"Geminis, typically described as restless, easily bored and frustrated by things moving slowly, had more car accidents than any other sign," said Warren Duke, Suncorp''s national manager of personal insurance.

Taureans were thought to be obstinate and inflexible, while Pisceans could be risk-takers and dare devils, he said.

Capricorns were the safest behind the wheel due to their patience and careful driving.

The light-hearted study was based on 160,000 car accident insurance claims received over the past three years.

Suncorp Metway said it had no intention to alter its premiums according to a person''s star sign.

The company listed car accident claims by star sign as follows, with the most accident-prone at the top:

1. Gemini, May 21-June 21

2. Taurus, April 20-May 20

3. Pisces, February 19-March 20

4. Virgo, August 23-September 22

5. Cancer, June 22-July 22

6. Aquarius, January 20-February 18

7. Aries, March 21-April 19

8. Leo, July 23-August 22

9. Libra, September 23-October 22

10. Sagittarius, November 22-December 21

11. Scorpio, October 23-November 21

12. Capricorn, December 22-January 19
