Is it just me or are most traffic accidents seemingly caused by women?

Men get more DUIs, traffic violations and are deemed responsible for a greater portion of car accidents.

But they also drive more miles than women—a lot more. Although a recent study indicates there are over one million more licensed female drivers than licensed male drivers, men drive about 40 percent more miles per year.

Some subject experts hypothesize that men – particular men under 25 – get in more accidents because they’re more prone to aggressive behavior and risk taking.

But let’s look at the numbers:

Men cause 6.1 million accidents per year and women cause 4.4 million per year (National Highway Safety Administration) 105.7 million women and 104.3 million men have drivers licenses (University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute)

On average, men drive 16,550 miles and women drive 10,142 miles per year ( Federal Highway Administration) So men account for roughly 1.73¹² miles driven per year, while women drive a combined total of 1.07¹² miles per year.

That means men drive about 30 percent more miles than women. Yet, they’re implicated in slightly less than 30 percent of car accidents. Men do cause more accidents, but they are actually less at-risk than women, by a small margin.

Women seem to be worse drivers overall.

My final disaster (ultimate ex) used to gauge how far to back up when turning her vehicle around by waiting until she hit the stone wall behind it.

It would seem there must be actual statistics on this. There's no way insurance companies don't have this data.
