total bulls~~~ of course as in my experience they easily make for the worst and most people in the comments seem to agree

Since I have stopped doing those things …… I know see Im swimming in a sea of bulls~~~ …. and it’s up to my nose.

That blond model pictured behind the wheel is attractive. That’s about all I believe about the article’s data or conclusions. It just so happens that one can rig a test or survey to ‘prove’ anything desired.

yep!

it’s like one week “scientists” will say that a glass of red wine a day is good for you and the next they say it is bad for you, then good, then bad etc – all bulls~~~

I’m doing my bit for God and Country.

Danicka Patrick the worlds first female NASCAR driver going on ten years now has yet to win a single race. Nuff said.

The reality of this is a bit complicated.  First, there ARE detailed statistics that account for accidents per mile, age, gender, etc.  http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/handle/2027.42/1007/83596.0001.001.pdf?sequence=2

Elevated rates occur among the youngest and oldest drivers, as you’d expect — inexperience, senility, slower reflexes all cause accidents.

Males are more likely than women to have a fatal accident, and less likely than women to have an injury accident.  I’d attribute that to males driving at high speeds (much more likely to have fatal accident) long distances on freeways, to work for the Man; I would also argue men drive more aggressively.  These statistics are typically based upon police-reported injuries; I suspect some men might not report their injuries when a cupcake slams their vehicle at low speed; this may slightly skew statistics; I’d expect most women to report theirs when their car gets smacked.

For ALL police-reported accidents (fatalities AND injuries), men have a LOWER relative risk than women.  See Fig 4.1 in link above.  This report is dated 1993.

FATAL crashes per 100 million miles ARE higher for men than women — although at my age group (45), the two are nearly indistinguishable (fig 4-2).  Past about 40, the fatal crashes nearly overlap between the genders.  16-19 y/o, fatal accidents are much higher for men.  Why?  Well, I remember enjoying driving my Dodge Daytona with T-Tops down a winding road at high speeds when I was 18…  reckless… Testosterone tends to make teen guys take risks and most enjoy thrills… in my humble opinion, more than womyn of the same age.

Injury rates for women are higher older than 25, and nearly converged with males below 25 y/o.  I’d say they are typically traveling at lower speeds, going grocery shopping, and talk on the phone more or apply make-up, causing low-speed, TYPICALLY non-fatal accidents.

Men also tend to drive a LOT more than women, typically, twice as much (fig 4-7).  That likely makes them MORE proficient/experienced drivers.  Women have more rear-end and angle accidents relative to men.  I like how the report states objectively ‘for whatever reason,’ as the explanation.  Other cars take it up the ass when women are t~~~ting, sexting, or gossiping with the passengers.  They do make a case for it being caused by driving less total miles/less experience, which does make sense.  I think men SHOULD pay more for insurance but it ought to be based on how much an individual actually drives (odometer) as opposed to just being male… and your individual accident history…

Daytime vs nighttime also has a profound effect, daytime driving men & women have similar fatality rates with men somewhat higher until 40 years old; nighttime, men have a much, much higher accident rate than womyn.  I’d say that is most likely due to fatigue or drugs/alcohol & men getting told to, or taking on driving when they ought not to.  Be a pal and drive your drunk buddies home!

Danica Patrick won one race, Indy 300 Japan, albeit a race with weaker competitors.
