Attorneys and judges topped the Insurance.com list of the Top 10 Most Dangerous Drivers by Profession.
“If you’re both an expert at the law and an expert at getting stopped by the law, you might be a dangerous driver,” the company noted in a statement.
The list was based on accident claims as a percentage of quotes, and attorneys topped the list with 44% claiming a prior accident when receiving a car insurance comparison quote from insurance.com.
"Professions that demand multi-tasking — being on the phone, moving fast on a tight schedule — are prone to more distractions and, from there, more accidents,” Sam Belden, insurance.com vice president, said in a statement.
The least dangerous drivers? Athletes (17%) and homemakers (24%).
