Hey Kansas City– Who is Better Behind the Wheel? Men or Women?

Who is the better driver?  Depends on who you ask, right?  Men will say men and women of course will defend the fairer sex.  And ancient battle of the sexes, which has gone on for centuries, also carries on onto the roads of Kansas and Missouri.  So, who is the better drivers and who are you safest with?– Men or Women? Not surprisingly, the answer really depends on the individual behind the wheel.  However, an article in the New York Times called “Why You’d Rather Ride With a Woman Than a Man,” by Freakanomics blogger Eric A. Morris suggests that despite differences around the world, on the whole you’re better off with a woman behind the wheel. The reason is simple– men are more likely to ignore traffic laws.

According the article, men are more prone to aggressive driving techniques, such as obscene gestures, verbal abuse and as a result are more likely to be involved in serious injury automobile accidents.

Our experienced Kansas City Auto Injury Attorneys hope that no matter if you are a man or a woman you let your driving do the bragging.  You can believe the stats or you can make your own luck.  Men and woman can each avoid auto injury accidents by simply following the same rules we’ve all been taught since Driver’s Education.  Slow down.  Avoid distractions.  Keep your eyes on the road.  Make complete stops.  Use your turn signals.  It’s as easy as it sounds.

We Need More Women Drivers

When a couple goes out to dinner or whatever, who drives? Even among progressive people, the man usually drives.

This is probably a bad idea. Here's why, according to accident statistics (source - Google statistics that seem legit):

Men are 77 percent more likely than women to die in a car accident. Before you say anything, this is based on miles driven. So it builds in the math the fact that men drive more often.

And while the study found that the highway death rate was higher for an 82 year-old woman, she is less likely to have an accident on the road than a 17 year-old boy

Women are 50 percent less likely to get a DWI

Women are 10 percent less likely to get a moving violation

Men get in 25 percent more accidents while looking at themselves in the rear view or shade mirrors

I only made up the last one. The bottom line is in driving down the road separated by a double yellow line, I'd breathe a little easier if I knew that driver was a woman.
