No matter what people do for a living there are some people who believe in superstitions maybe they carry a lucky charm or are just careful not to walk under a ladder, it seems that this also applies to driving, with many of the drivers in the UK resorting to luck when it comes to how lucky they are when they set off for work or the school run.
When it comes to star signs it would appear to be Librans who are likely to suffer a breakdown, while if you are driving through the Purley Way in Croydon, you may wish to reconsider your route as this particular stretch of road in South East London has been marked as the place where cars are most likely to breakdown!
This all comes from a survey of over one million members of the motoring organisation the RAC.
The survey also revealed:
42% of motorists read horoscopes but only 13% read the Highway Code
67% do not read their car manual
Two in five Londoners have a lucky charm in the car compared with a national average of one in five
38% of people view a car full of mascots as a real turn off when they first date
23% would put off buying a car with an unlucky number on the plate or if it was in an unlucky colour
Cars with 13 in the number plate are 25% less likely to break down.
Just in case you never travel down the Purley Way, there are a few other places that should be avoided if you are that way inclined, they are: Bristol, Maidenhead in Berkshire and Newton Abbot in Devon.
Of course you could always make sure that your car is regularly serviced and that you check tyre pressures, fluid levels and your battery every now and then.
