How is your week going so far?

It’s a fact:

Male drivers vs Female drivers…

Men are more than twice as likely to die in a car crash than women, consider the yearly statistics shown below.

In fact, studies have shown as many as 73 percent of all people killed in car accidents are male.

Since record keeping began: male fatalities significantly outweigh female fatalities.

However men and women do not drive the same number of miles under the same conditions- men do about 60-65% more driving than women.

Studies show that woman take shorter trips and female drivers have a greater number of minor crashes than do men.

However men are still 70% more likely to be in a serious crash.

Teen drivers…

A teenager is killed in a car crash every 64 1/2 minutes.
Teenagers make up 7% of licensed drivers, but suffer 14% of fatalities and 20% of all reported accidents.

85% of crashes by 16-year-old drivers are attributed to “Driver Error,” Not speed. Not drugs. Not alcohol.

The cost of police-reported crashes involving teen drivers in 2002 was $40,800,000,000 ($40.8 Billion).

In the overwhelming majority of states, a driver’s license is issued to a 16-year-old with no official ever having seen the teenager drive a car on the road.
