Capricorns, are most likely to drive a Volkswagen Beetle, the popular car makes a statement, which contradicts their seemingly quiet nature.

Yasmin Boland of www.moonology.com said of the findings: "It's very interesting to see the research here - there's no doubt that astrology is a good predictor of so many personality traits, including which car you're likely to drive,to how many speeding tickets you are likely to get.

"Fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) are the speedy people. Water signs (Cancer and Scorpio) are the ones who want safety and comfort. Air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) are the ones who get the parking tickets because they get so caught up in what they're doing they forget the time, and Earth signs (Taureans, Virgos and Capricorns) signs which portray a cool persona and easy going people, which they personality is reflected in their choice of car."

Gareth Kloet, Head of car insurance at Confused.com, added: "A person's choice of car has always been a topic of discussion and many people make judgments about the car people choose to drive.

"It's interesting to know that the star sign you are born under can be a trigger to your choices. However, on a serious note, whatever car you choose, road safety is essential. We urge motorists to ensure they are covered adequately with their car insurance and to shop around for the best price."
