Women are better drivers than men – Fact!

We all have an opinion on the long-standing myth that men are better drivers than women, so you will be pleased to hear that conclusive evidence has at last emerged to prove what we knew all along – women actually are the superior motorists.

An American insurance quote provider has released the new study ‘Women are bad drivers – fact or fiction?’ which compares traffic accident, violation and insurance price statistics between men and women to dispel the notion that women are bad drivers.

The results of the study have found that 80% of car accidents involving serious or fatal injuries are in fact caused by male drivers. It also reveals that women are 27% less likely to cause a road traffic accident than men.

Plus, you will be pleased to hear that the study confirmed that the number of traffic violations (motoring offences) is also higher for male drivers in every possible category than for women. These include reckless driving, speeding, seat belt violations and the more serious legal matters such as driving while intoxicated.

So, at last we can show once and for all that women are the better drivers! Whether due to their high testosterone, higher tendency to take risks or higher levels of aggression, the fact now remains – men make more mistakes behind the wheel than women. Well, in America anyway!
