In China, a doctor has been testing bus, taxi and van drivers, a number of which may have cleaner's van insurance due to the quantity of big office blocks in the major cities, in an attempt to find a gene which leads to bad driving.
Dr Jin Huiqing has spent almost 30 years searching for some way of pre-diagnosing poor driving skills in motorists, in a bid to reduce the number of deaths on Chinese roads.
Currently in China someone is killed on the highway every five minutes and the doctor believes that there must be some way to monitor, using neurological tests and blood samples, which motorists are more likely to cause those fatalities.
Dr Jin Huiquig has focused his research on those who drive buses, taxis and vans, including those with business van insurance, because he feels that bad drivers should be stopped from driving commercially.
So far, by studying 350 bus drivers, he has apparently found three genes which show possible links to poor driving skills.
The doctor's research has proved efficacious and he is now selling road safety programmes to various districts throughout China. One city using his scheme has reportedly noted a reduction in traffic fatalities, and more may also be seeing results.
Potentially, Jin Huiquig's road safety program system could be used by companies with cleaner's van insurance, and any other firms in China who use commercial vehicles and drivers, to avoid their need to make claims on their insurance.
