A nonprofit agency in charge of driving safety in the United States, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), recently issued a list of the most unsafe vehicles this year.

From a number of crash tests (crash-test) done IIHS stated, lower-class sedan vehicles most at risk during a fatal accident. Chevrolet Aveo and the Chrysler PT Cruiser was accused as a car that has ranked worst crash-test in their classes. Especially the impact of the side and rear crash an accident.

The way a car handles itself during a crash determines much about the severity of the occupants’ injuries. Some cars hold up better than others: Tiny cars and low-level sedans are especially at risk, according to crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Bigger cars, because of their mass, generally fare better in tests–but may be more likely to roll.

This helps explain why the Chevrolet Aveo and Chrysler PT Cruiser, both inexpensive, smaller cars, have the worst crash-test ratings in their class–they each received “marginal” test-results for side- and rear-impacts. They join the Cadillac STS and Mercury Grand Marquis as some of the most dangerous vehicles of 2010.

Who is the better driver? Man or Woman?

First of all, let’s take a look at some statistics that I have located on line that will help this investigation.

Men are more than twice as likely to die in a car crash as women, consider the yearly statistics shown below. In fact, studies have shown as many as 73 percent of all people killed in car accidents are male. Since record keeping began: male fatalities significantly outweigh female fatalities. However men and women do not drive the same number of miles under the same conditions- men do about 60-65% more driving than women. Studies show that woman take shorter trips and female drivers have a greater number of minor crashes than do men. However men are still 70% more likely to be in a serious crash.

Insurance company AAMI has found some interesting statistics in a recent telephone survey of more than 2,000 drivers.

- 55 per cent of men – 30 per cent of women – drink drive.

- 47 per cent of men – 38 per cent of women – have rudely gestured at other drivers.

- 84 per cent of men – 77 per cent of women – have crashed their vehicle,

- 51 per cent of men – 40 per cent of women – have been distracted by billboards while driving

- 46 per cent of men – 36 per cent of woman – admitted to verbally abusing another driver.

- 22 per cent of men – 15 per cent of women – admitted to using their mobile phones without hands-free accessories while driving.

So you can see from the survey that things are not looking that great for men, but do all those statistics make women better drivers?

“Our claims data shows that men’s crashes tend to be more serious than women’s, they are more likely to be involved in head-on collisions, roll-overs and loss-of-control crashes, as well as crashes involving pedestrians, cyclists and animals.” AAMI spokesman Geoff Hughes said.
