Lawyers are 60% more likely than the average motorist to have points on their licence, according to insurance specialist Admiral.
The legal profession’s shocking record was uncovered during analysis of 1.6m car insurance policies. More than 20% have motoring convictions, compared with the average among UK drivers which is 12.6%.
An Admiral spokesperson said: “It could be that some of the more well paid professions such as lawyers may drive cars with larger engines and are tempted to drive fast.”
