Estate agents have more car accidents than any other kind of driver

Studies show that your profession could have an effect on the way you drive and your chances of having a car accident.

Estate agents drive more precariously than anybody else on UK roads today rushing from one booking to another. Consequently they have the most car accidents and frequently find themselves embroiled in car accident claims for compensation. They also get a lot of parking tickets, being time-pressed and having to park wherever they can find some space.

At the other end of the scale, a farmer is the least likely to be involved in a road traffic accident, mostly because they live in quiet rural areas with a small traffic flow and not necessarily because they are careful drivers. It logically follows that most of the UK’s farmers are blissful strangers to making no win, no fee compensation claims.

Ambulance drivers are found to be extremely good drivers because they have extensive practice driving at high speed, in all weathers, as well as in hazardous and stressful situations. They also have special training in driving to avoid road traffic accidents.

Fleet drivers including lorry drivers have an extremely good track record as far as negotiating journeys and road conditions are concerned.

It has been speculated that the reason estate agents have so many car accidents is because they're rushing around driving all day dashing to see clients in urban areas and parking wherever they can find space. Most also carry minimum car insurance.

It has also been said that those who work outdoors and not confined to a desk during the day are likely to make fewer car accident compensation claims.

It remains to be seen whether news of their disproportionately high involvement in car crashes will make estate agents think twice before taking to the road.

Certainly, if it reduces the incidence of no win, no fee car accident claims, this piece of research can only be a good thing.
