In Science News: Female Drivers Are More Dangerous Than Male Drivers

We finally got the science on our side.

According to researchers, women drivers are more dangerous behind the wheel than their male counterparts. They studied a total of 6.5 million car crashes between 1998 and 2007 to reach their conclusion.

Details:

Researchers looked at 6.5million car crashes and found a higher than expected number of accidents between two female drivers.

They also discovered that women have a tough time negotiating crossroads, T-junctions and slip roads.

The results are even more surprising given that men spend more time behind the wheel than women. On average, men drive 60 per cent of the time, and women 40 per cent.

Michael Sivak, of the University of Michigan, said: ‘The results indicate that in certain crash scenarios, male-to-male crashes tend to be under-represented and female-to-female crashes tend to be over-represented.’

So there’s that. Just remember this next time your wife/girlfriend wants to drive. It’s actually safer if you took the wheel.
