Can Your Job Affect Your Car Insurance in Pasadena, TX?


By Hector Jimenz

If you believe the old adage that you are what you eat, it follows in the car insurance business that you're likely to drive what's on your mind. To put it plainly, when people are stressed and in a hurry, they tend to get in more accidents.

Insure.com and Quality Planning Corp recently released their top 10 list of the most crash-prone professions. I was surprised to find that the professions my mom wanted me to become top the list.

Having a stressful job maybe a big sign of people who are getting in the most accidents. You won't find a yoga instructor on this list.

The top ten list sure looks like an overachiever's roll call and many of the professions on the list tend to get called into duty with some urgency.

Read on to see the top ten list and why Insure.com believes that each occupation ranks so high:

1. Doctors Per year, every 1,000 doctors average 109 accidents and 44 speeding tickets, leading the pack. These residents and interns must be so sleep-deprived that they are too tired to stay on the road.

2. Lawyers

Per year, every 1,000 lawyers average 106 accidents and 37 speeding tickets. No need to chase ambulances when you're already at the scene of an accident!

3. Architects

Per year, every 1,000 architects average 105 accidents and 72 speeding tickets.

4. Real estate brokers

Per year, every 1,000 real estate brokers average 102 accidents and 39 speeding tickets.

5. Enlisted military personnel

Per year, every 1,000 enlisted military personnel average 99 accidents and 78 speeding tickets.

6. Social workers

Per year, every 1,000 enlisted social workers average 98 accidents and 33 speeding tickets.

7. Manual laborer

Per year, every 1,000 manual laborers average 96 accidents and 77 speeding tickets. For everyone's sake, these guys need a brake.

8. Analysts

Per year, every 1,000 analysts average 95 accidents and 40 speeding tickets. Perhaps if they analyzed how much they could save with a good driver discount, they'd be more careful.

9. Engineers

Per year, every 1,000 engineers average 94 accidents and 51 speeding tickets. It's probably not a good idea to use a slide rule while driving.

10. Consultants

Per year, every 1,000 consultants average 94 accidents and 50 speeding tickets. Perhaps they could give themselves advice on how to be better drivers.

Do you find your profession on the list? Don't be alarmed if you fall into one of the above categories. While some insurance policies will ask for your profession when they write your Pasadena car insurance policy, it's unlikely you'll be penalized if you tell them you're a doctor or lawyer given this information.

There are numerous factors figured in for your auto insurance policies like your zip code, current driving record, etc... but most likely are not based on your career choice.
