Insurance Study: Women Are Better Drivers Than Men


In the proverbial battle of the sexes, women are better drivers than men. Or so says a new study by an online auto insurance group that hopes to dispel the long-standing notion that women are bad drivers.
Some 80 percent of all fatal and serious car crashes are caused by male drivers, the study says. It says women are 27 percent less likely than men to cause auto accidents. In 2007, statistics reveal men were involved in 6.1 million car accidents while women were involved in 4.4 million.
Male drivers outnumber females 3 to 1 for DUI violations, according to the study.

but it does take skills to talk on a cell phone, put on makeup, read a book, and drink coffee while driving

10:20, you're right. It took an insurance study to tell us that?

My wife has wrecked our vehicle twice in the last 6 years; I've wrecked it zero times.

An anomaly, I'm sure...

Yeah this is false...

How can women be better drivers when they are the ones, drinking coffee, reading a paper, putting on make-up and talking on the phone all at the same time driving?

Why is it that in my 30 years on earth every accident I have seen, or driven by or been in was caused by a women?

Women can't drive. PERIOD!!!

I'm not saying men are better or worse, I just know from personal data that women are bad drivers...
