    Beware the 14th of March

    According to analysis of claims data* compiled by UK insurance brokers, Bennetts, 14th March is the most dangerous day to ride a motorcycle.

    And if you see a Ford Focus, give it a wide berth. The Focus has taken the place of the Vauxhall Corsa as the car most likely to be involved in a collision – closely followed by old “favourites”, the Ford Fiesta and Transit.

    The five most dangerous dates are:

    14th March
    2nd May
    3rd May
    25th May
    2nd June

    * Based on Bennetts claims data taken from June 2006 – July 2007

    Didn't do a lot for Julius Caesar either, or was that the 15th?

    Bugger, if I had read this earlier, maybe I would have avoided binning on the 14th. Oh well, I guess I'm just a statistic now.
