Most and Least Likely Professions to be Involved in a Car Accident

I was looking through the internet today and I found quite the interesting article. I don’t know just how much help it will give to you, but think of it as an ice-breaker to be used at the next awkward situation you face. Take, for example, that you discover that the person standing next to you (in such awkward situation) works at Camel Cigarettes. “Oh, so you’re a tobacconist?”, you would say, “Well, do you know that you are in the second-most likely profession to be involved in a car crash?” Ice-breaker success!

Take at the research supplied by moneysupermarket.com on what professions are the most likely/least likely to be involved in a car crash…
