Men versus Women Drivers: Car Accidents Statistics
Posted on 01:16, November 23rd, 2009 by admin
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.
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?
