Men versus Women Drivers: Car Accidents Statistics
Posted on 01:16, November 23rd, 2009 by adminWho 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.
Violations for which men scored at least 50 percent higher than women:
TYPE OF VIOLATION RATIO M:F
Reckless driving 3.41
DUI 3.09
Seatbelt violations 3.08
Speeding 1.75
Failure to yield 1.54
Stop sign/signal violation 1.53
Some researchers believe the explanation is to be found hormones related to aggessiveness, others put more emphasis on data such as the measurebly greater alcohol use among men while driving.
So Are Women Better Drivers Than Men?
Many auto insurance industry experts would agree with the theory that men, especially young men, tend to drive more aggressively than women and display their aggression in a direct manner, rather than indirectly. Furthermore, as a rule of thumb, male drivers are more likely than women to break the law, and the male of the species tends to be more of a risk-taker.

men get in more car accidents simply because they drive 74% more miles , so naturally their insurance rates will be higher. SCIENTIFIC FACTS ; men have better spatial capacity & depth perception,men r more mechanically inclined,& have far better instincts & reaction times.women tend to drive more defensively , but r far less confident, often causing accidents & then driving away safely & obliviously to the mall !
women are cautious driver..they are more law obidint and less agrecive driver then men
I could not find any information about who getsin more car wrecks but i found the answer on this website! Im greatful
women drivers just suck ass. if there were no women drivers then men would never get into accidents. the only reason men get into accidents is due to the fact that women are carefree drivers and simply dont care. women should not be allowed to drive. maybe motorized shopping carts so they can get around and put their groceries inside aswell and shop at the mall.
Good post. As per driving is concerned the women’s car considered to be the safe drivers than men. The men or women are safe drivers if they follow certain rules and regulation of traffic and this will help them to be the save drivers. The young drivers or teens should first learn driving from driving school and this is really important because this will help them improve driving skills/habits and know more about traffic rules which will help them to be safe from accidents. Learning driving is very important for everyone men, women, teens or young drivers. This will be the first step to be safe from accidents. The most of the accidents are caused due improper driving and this is one of the main causes for more accidents. carinsurancetemporary.co.uk
WTF.. really? your last paragraph is not even a fucking conclusion… learn to write you fuck. rather than simply state men take risks because they are men.. that in no way argues men are or are not better drivers than women.. a better example would be ” women have x.xx% more total accidents than men, while men have x.xx% more fatal accidents.”
uhm, where do you get your statistics?
and I heard woman are more likely to be involved in an accident while texting?
In my experience women drivers are not more cautious and cautious drivers are equally as dangerous as risky drivers. It is scientific fact (whether by evolution or creative design) that women have lesser spatial and mechanical skills than men. It is also a fact that these statistics don’t take into account the number of miles that men drive. I’ve read that men drive as little as 60% more which you stated to as much as 75% more as others have stated. So if a woman were to drive 10,000 miles, a man would drive 17,500 miles. In that same amount lets say the woman crashed once due to reckless driving, according to your statistics since men drive recklessly over 3 times more than women we’ll say the man crashed 3 times from the same reason. The woman has almost double the risk of crash with a newly adjusted ratio of 3:1.7. Of course I’m not a math whiz and I probably screwed up the method a little.
The answer is simple and in the article:
Men drive 60-65% more = 1.6:1
77% of Women have crashed and 84% Men = 0.91:1.0
So Women are 1:1.45 or 45% more likely to crash!
These surveys obviously left out asian women..
There have been countless times where I’ve almost been hit by some god damn FOB.
[...] all heard the phrase “Oh, women drivers, am I right?!” Oh yeah? Well check this out! KNOWLEDGE! That report right there states that “… men are 70% more likely to be in a serious [...]
Consider the cars that men drive compared to women. Personally in my family I drive a 1986 pontiac trans am, my sister drives a honda civic, my mom drives a toyota highlander and my father drives a ford mustang.. and then we wonder why men are involved in more fatal accidents. The statistics also fail to show the percentages of who’s fault the accidents were. If you also look at other statistics about who answers more truthfully in this type of survey men surpass women immensely. Women can’t drive period.
Women have more accidents than men (per mile driven), but they tend to be at lower speed. Men tend to drive faster, and this cause and are subject to more fatalities. What amazes me, is that discrimination on the basis of sex is allowed in insurance, but not on the basis of race or country of origin. Given that the death mortality rate caused by afghani drivers is 10 times that of uk drivers, why is this so?
hahaha, um. I am sorry, but my friend was sitting at a red light and got slammed into by a MALE driver TEXTING. I personally was slammed into to from the side, by a male… simply because his mind failed to recognize that there was a red light. I’ve seen about 46 men pulled over for speeding, recklessly driving, and drunk driving. I have seen 2 women pulled over in my life time for running a stop sign. Men who pull all this science crap out of their butt are simply in denial. Women are NOT bad drivers. Sure there are a few, but there are also several AWFUL men drivers. Both sexes are equally good drivers- just one is more intelligent while driving (cautious). Swallow your pride, and suck it up.

I have been nearly hit crossing the street, with the light, in the crosswalk, THREE times THIS WEEK in the city of San Francisco. ALL WOMAN DRIVERS!
Saudi Arabia bans woman driving for a reason.
You all suck… stay the hell out of my way!!
Who is a good driver? A man or a woman? Gender Differences is always a big issue. Women have had to deal with cracks from men about their driving for as long as they have been driving. But what came before the other? The conduct or the criticism? But a joint study between Colleges on two continents this week decided that women drive even worse after they have had their ability to drive challenged. It may seem clear, but confidence gets sluggish when it is criticized. And a good driver is a confident driver. It hurts females when individuals criticize them.
