Are women drivers better than men?

The age old argument, are men are better drivers than women? Insurance companies have done lots of research and sorry guys, it seem pretty slanted. I weeded out some of the best numbers, take a look.

*More men than women die each year in motor vehicle crashes. Men typically drive more miles than women and more often engage in risky driving practices including not using seat belts, driving while impaired by alcohol, and speeding.

*Crashes involving male drivers often are more severe than those involving female drivers.1 However, in crashes of equal severity, females are more likely than males to be killed or injured. 2,3,4,5

*Since 1975 deaths among female passenger vehicle drivers have increased while male passenger vehicle driver deaths have changed little. The increase in female driver deaths can be explained by an increase in exposure. More women are licensed now than in the past. They drive more miles and are more likely to drive at night.

*The rate of fatal crashes per 100 million miles of travel for male and female drivers decreased similarly between 1977 and 2001 - a 48 percent decrease for female drivers and a 45 percent decrease for male drivers.
