Female Drivers Better Than Male Drivers.

Some men out there will be scarcely able to hide their disbelief, but there is good evidence that women are better drivers. So why are women better drivers than men? It’s a great generalisation that men can be more competitive and aggressive and therefore more inclined to drive at faster speeds and to display more risky driving behaviour but there is probably some truth in it.

Young men, aged 17-25 are seen as the highest risk and men of this age tend to have a higher accident rate (general accidents as well as road traffic accidents) than any other group. Culture also plays a part; men are the target of aggressive advertising campaigns that push them towards more powerful, high performance cars, which encourage faster driving. Women are more likely to have children in the car on journeys such as the school run and this naturally makes any driver more cautious and protective.

Women drivers are 28% less likely to drive at night than men – a time when the risk of serious accidents increases.
Women were 12% less likely to exceed the speed limit than men and 11% less likely to brake hard, supporting the idea that women are better drivers than men. Findings show that men are far more likely to skip safety belts entirely, drive while impaired by alcohol and/or drugs, and speed, making crashes that much more severe than those involving female drivers. Nevertheless, females are still more likely than males to be killed or injured in crashes of the same caliber, even when gender differences in fatality risks diminish with age.

Men are a lethal weapon when behind the wheel. Studies show that as a whole, women are less likely to: get into a car accident; commit moving violations, like speeding and driving under the influence (DUI); buy sports cars that are more costly to insure; and drive as many miles as the average male driver. But while things look unfairly stacked against the average male driver in the vehicular fatality and insurance arenas, reports paint a picture that is not all too flattering for female automobile operators either. Women still make a lot of mistakes behind the wheel, and although they may not always be as life threatening as the other sex, things like rashed wheels, broken bumpers, crunched tail lights, and swiped sideview mirrors are common female incidents in traffic reports. Men are involved in risky driving behaviors more often than women, with automotive racing, off-road adventures, and a bigger penchant for freeway adventures all serving as examples.
