Women drive better than men
Let´s not focus on the sexist attitudes and prejudices against women nor get into controversy and just begin by defining the profile of a good driver:
- Knowledge
- Caution
- Efficiency and skills
- Responsibility
- Empathy
- Self-control (tolerance)
- Respect
Studies, statistics, experiments, and research on behavior on the road have proven that women drive better than men, although it has nothing to do with capability but with attitude. Judge by yourself:
W O M E N
| Have fewer accidents | More Anxious |
| More Careful | Reckless |
| More attentive | Easily distracted |
| Pay more attention to insurance | Less rigorous with the car´s maintenance |
| More respectful of the rules | More errors in reversing and parking |
| More emotionally intelligent | Have more breakdowns and frictions |
| Drive alert and slower | |
| Take fewer risks | |
| More empathetic | |
| Invest more time in each maneuver | |
| More responsible and aware |
M E N
| Are more confident in their ability | Drive more aggressively |
| Greater in technical skills of arms and legs | Arrogant |
| Have more accidents | |
| Underestimate danger | |
| Unsafe behavior | |
| Take more risks | |
| Not likely to wear seatbelts or helmets | |
| Maintain less safety distance | |
| Exceed the speed | |
| Use more the cellphone while driving | |
| Improper overtaking | |
| Drunk driving |
TO SUM-UP
- Neither women drive so badly, nor do men so well.
- Women driving and men as co-drivers are the safest couples behind the wheel.
- The most unsafe combination: two men.
- When driving accompanied by a bad co-pilot, violations increase.
- “Auntie or uncle driving” refers to driving too slowly or too cautiously.
