It Is Now A Fact, Women Drive Better Than Men

If anyone doubts this claim well than read this article and judge for yourself:

FINALLY the age-old myth has been busted: women are better drivers than men. There’s no argument. And the gap between the two is widening. The latest crash statistics from the RTA show men are four times more likely to be behind the wheel in a fatal accident than women.

In 2009 there were 469 men controlling vehicles involved in fatal crashes, which was up 2.3 per cent on the previous three-year average.

Women, on the other hand, are improving, with 118 of the opposite sex behind the wheel of a vehicle involved in a fatal accident last year – a decline of almost two per cent from 2006-08.

Across all crashes the news is even worse for men. Of all the prangs in 2008 – a staggering 73,669 in NSW – men were driving in 45,329 of the accidents.

At the latest count by the RTA, there were about the same number of licences held by both sexes, with 2.8 million male drivers and 2.3 million women.

“It is about being careful. Women are better drivers because they are more cautious,” said high performance driving instructor Amy Boatwright.  [The Daily Telegraph]
