Who are safer drivers males or females?

Summary of Article

Why are females safer drivers? “Women are on average less aggressive and more law-abiding drivers — attributes that lead to fewer accidents,” the study says. Men caused 264,078 accidents during the 10 years, and women caused 171,343 accidents. Out of the drivers who are registered in California, 51% are men, and 49% are women. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that men cause an average of 6.1 million accidents per year in the US, and women cause 4.4 million accidents per year. Males do 62% of the driving, but only cause 58% of the accidents. So women do cause slightly more accidents per capita than men. Female drivers are 98.5% (+/-30.8%) more likely to suffer leg injuries in a traffic crash. And it doesn’t end there. While the size of the gap differs, women in fatal collisions are more likely to suffer head injuries, chest injuries, abdominal injuries, and neck injuries. In 2021, female motorists accounted for just over half of all licensed drivers in the United States, with around 117.6 million female licensees compared to 115.2 million male licensees. The risk of motor vehicle crashes is higher among teens ages 16–19 than among any other age group. Teen drivers in this age group have a fatal crash rate almost three times as high as drivers ages 20 and older per mile driven. The age group with the most fatal crashes is drivers between the ages of 25 and 34. There are nearly 1,000 more deaths per year among 25- to 34-year-olds than drivers under 25. That averages out to 14,386 accidents per day, or one crash every six minutes. In 2020, Americans had a 1 in 63 chance of getting in a car accident. There was a 22% decrease in car accidents between 2019 and 2020. Who is most likely to get into car crashes? Teenagers, seniors, newly licensed drivers, and males. Women’s irons are only one inch shorter compared to men’s in the same set. While the driver is 1.25 inches shorter and has higher loft options. Since women golfers have a lower average swing speed than men, it’s important to use more loft to help get the ball in the air. Driver does not have a feminine gender. Hence, female is also called Driver only. The age group that has the safest drivers is still being debated.
