It's official! Women are safer behind the wheels than their male peers by a fifth, a new study has
found. Researchers found that women break speed limits less, brake less
suddenly and avoid danger after dark by driving considerably less often at
night than male motorists.
The study led by a team of experts concluded that women are up to a
fifth safer on the road, the 'Daily Express' (UK) reported. The research was
based on the data from black box recorders in the vehicles of 19,000 motorists,
which were used to monitor more than 40 million journeys and 154 million miles
of travel over four years.
Half the drivers were men and half were women. The research was carried
out by car monitoring firm Wunelli, the report said. Experts found women drive
28 per cent less at night than men, exceed speed limits 12 per cent less and
brake hard 11 per cent less, which makes them a safe bet behind the wheels.
