Perth teaching assistants safest, says women's car insurance firm
Research by a women's car insurance company has shown that teaching assistants from Perth are the safest female drivers in the UK.
Diamond, which specialises in cheap car insurance for women, looked at which groups of motorists were least - and most - likely to have to claim on their motor insurance.
For ladies, being an assistant teacher, an accountant or a secretary was found to be a sign of safe driving, whilst low-risk male drivers tended to be involved in policing, computing programming or engineering.
A spokesperson for Diamond Insurance said: "It's probably very comforting to know that the people who are charged with protecting the community are also some of the safest drivers."
The head of AA road safety also commented: "If you look at an off-duty police officer, it is almost certain that at some point in their careers they will have to deal with the aftermath of a bad accident, informing the relatives of the deceased, and this will certainly make them more cautious."
On the other hand, ladies who earn a living as a hairdresser were found to have an 18% higher chance of having to make a car insurance claim than women involved in other lines of work.
The women's car insurance provider also looked at location, as well as career choice in its research. It found that Scottish cities such as Perth, Inverness and Dumfries posed the lowest risk of an accident in the UK, whilst Blackburn, Blackpool and Manchester all had a very high accident rate.
The Diamond spokesperson went on: "With places such as Perth and Inverness, the traffic is not quite as built up as, say, in Manchester, so perhaps it explains the lower claim rate there.
"However, when you consider that there were other busy parts of Scotland included in the list, and that the less built-up areas of Wales were not included, then perhaps the results show that Scottish drivers do take greater care when they are out on the roads."

Car insurance news 2005
*A replacement car can normally be arranged under one of the following conditions: (1) Comprehensive policyholders – a replacement car may be available under the terms of your insurance policy. Please check your policy details for more information. (2) Non fault accident – where we have the name, car registration number and insurance details of the person who caused the accident, we can supply a replacement car. This is done on a credit hire basis which means the costs for this service will be passed onto the insurance company of the person who caused the accident. We may not be able to arrange a replacement car where we are unable to get an admission of liability from their insurance company, or where the driver is untraceable or uninsured. (3) Repair garage – if your car is booked in for repairs following an accident, the repair garage may be able to provide a replacement car (subject to availability).
