Worse Drivers: Males Or Females?


Old stereotypes peg women as dangerous drivers, but statistics show the reality: When it comes to driving, guys are much more naughty. And insurance rates reflect that. Sorry, boys, but statistics show that you break traffic laws more often than females.

Which group causes more accidents, drives drunk more often and is responsible for more traffic deaths? Take a look at these US government and auto insurance statistics.

There's a big difference between "dangerous" and "naughty". The adages about female drivers generally refer to the lower skill level, which I frankly assert as true.

Exactly. Women are worse drivers than men... it doesn't mean that they break more/less traffic laws.
One of the many examples: Women will (and do) apply makeup, do their hair and generally gawk at themselves in their sunvisor mirror at a light and when it turns green, they're still sitting there while traffic stacks behind them.

I'm not bitter though. ;-)
