Research (gated) by Guohua Li, Susan P. Baker, Jean A. Langlois and Gabor D. Kelen showed that, as of the mid-1990s, women drivers were involved in about 5.7 accidents per million miles driven. Men, on the other hand, were involved in about 5.1. Women were thus 12 percent more likely to be in crashes per mile driven. This is confirmed by another paper (gated), by Dawn L. Massie, Kenneth L. Campbell, and Allan F. Williams, which found women were involved in 16 percent more accidents than men on a per mile driven basis.Then there's this from the Daily Mail in 2011:
Women drivers are more likely to be involved in an accident, according to scientists. Researchers looked at 6.5 million 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 I suppose that following the Stupid Media's lead, based on the above I can proclaim that men are better drivers than women. The kicker here is that what I've revealed isn't secret knowledge; any journalist who doesn't know it is in the wrong business. (But to do this craft of the pen justice you have to be a Renaissance man, which I'll describe as a jack of all trades and master of some. This leaves out Stupid Media members.) Of course, another prerequisite for knowing Truth and relating it to the reader is actually caring about it. If headlines and traffic (and pushing a leftist agenda) are your only priorities, then, well, you're what Don Henley was singing about in the song below.
