Politicians are the best drivers?

Interesting article

Saw this on my start page: http://money.cnn.com/2003/10/30/pf/a...vers/index.htm

Out of 40 occupations, Politicians are one of the 5 least likely to get into an accident. However, the are also one of the 5 most caught speeding. wtf??? Are they some super drivers? lol maybe its just that they have grown so accustomed to lying that they dont have a problem bs-ing a survey.

Dont want to start a political thread - just curious what you think about politican drivers (i dont know any personally)

that seems to be evidence that speeding isn't a common cause of accidents.

They dont have to drive themselves very much, hense less chance of getting into an accident. When they do drive they speed and lie to get outa tickets.

They don't have to lie, they just flash a card of who they are. I was passed on the NY Thruway by a Lincoln Town Car with NY Govt plates on it. I was doing 80. He passed me like I was stopped.
