Amid Mercury Retrograde, we’ve teamed up with astrology extraordinaire Francesca Oddie to explore how different star signs behave on the road — and how their personalities influence how they handle vehicle challenges. From changing a tyre to dealing with a breakdown, these insights reveal what the stars might say about you as a driver. Have you ever wondered how an Aries handles a breakdown? Do Aquarians prefer to drive or be driven? Are Sagittarians better at looking after their cars? Do Virgos still rely on their dad to help maintain their vehicles? Let’s find out!
♈ ARIES
Aries drivers have little patience for traffic jams and are always on the lookout for a shortcut. Adventurous but easily frustrated by delays, they’ll vent for a moment when things go wrong — but their pragmatic nature soon takes over. They’ll quickly get to work and call their breakdown provider to get back on the road.

♉ TAURUS
Taurus drivers are calm, patient, and grounded. They’ll wait by the roadside without losing their cool, confident that every problem has a solution. Practical by nature, they’ll either call their breakdown provider or consult reputable sources online to resolve the issue efficiently.
Where are they driving this summer? To their favourite nature spot.
♊ GEMINI
The least calm of all signs, Geminis make sure everyone knows what’s happening. If their car breaks down, they’ll call family, friends, and post real-time updates online. Expect them to ask a hundred questions when the breakdown technician arrives — curiosity is their superpower!
Where are they driving this summer? To the party.
♋ CANCER
If you’re road-tripping with a Cancer, relax — you’re in good hands. Cancers are nurturing and protective, ensuring everyone feels safe during a breakdown. They’ll follow safety procedures to the letter: hazard lights on, high-vis jacket ready. Even when emotional, they stay focused and reliable.

♌ LEO
Leos are born leaders — the best people to have in the car when trouble strikes. Calm, confident, and resourceful, they’ll take charge of the situation and contact the right people to get help. Just one reminder: even though they’re natural problem-solvers, it’s always best to let the professionals handle repairs.

♍ VIRGO
Organised, prepared, and practical — Virgo drivers have every scenario covered. Their cars are spotless, their service records up-to-date, and they always know their exact mileage. In a breakdown, they’ll calmly call for help and make things easier for the technician by providing precise details and backup contacts.
Where are they driving this summer? Dropping friends off at home.
♎ LIBRA
Libras are charming, balanced, and composed — even in a roadside emergency. They won’t panic; instead, they’ll think through the problem, explore options, and keep things running smoothly. Their love for order helps restore calm in any breakdown situation.
Where are they driving this summer? On a romantic getaway.
♏ SCORPIO
Loyal, smart, and determined, Scorpios like to stay in control. If they can’t fix the problem themselves, frustration might kick in — but soon, their strategic side takes over. They’ll take charge of communication and manage the situation until their breakdown provider arrives.
Where are they driving this summer? That’s classified.
♐ SAGITTARIUS
Adventurous and optimistic, Sagittarians approach breakdowns as just another story to tell later. Even when things go wrong, they stay upbeat, trusting that their breakdown provider will get them back on the road in no time.
Where are they driving this summer? On a holiday adventure.
♑ CAPRICORN
Hardworking and responsible, Capricorns take breakdowns personally — they hate when things go wrong. They’ll immediately analyse what caused the issue and ask the technician detailed questions to learn from it. Practical and disciplined, they turn every setback into a lesson.
Where are they driving this summer? To a meeting.
♒ AQUARIUS
Cool, calm, and collected, Aquarians thrive in chaos. They don’t panic when unexpected events occur — they adapt. They’re grateful for expert help and appreciate efficient, well-explained solutions from their breakdown provider.
Where are they driving this summer? On a road trip.
♓ PISCES
Pisces drivers are the dreamers of the zodiac — often caught off guard by surprises. Luckily, they attract kindness and support. Their breakdown technician will likely find them both grateful and relieved as they get safely back on their way.
Where are they driving this summer? Wherever the road (and their imagination) leads.

Here at Drive Zimbabwe Roadside Assistance, we’ve teamed up to add a little fun to breakdown support — and to understand why we all react differently when our cars let us down.”
