Fact: There are far more men drivers who are much worse than women.



The IIHS (The International institute for health studies) reports that from
1975 to 2003, female deaths in motor vehicle crashes increased 14 percent
compared to an 11 percent decline for male motorists during that same
period. "We're also seeing women driving more aggressively, picking up that
bad habit from their male counterparts," points out Mr.Kummer, director of
personal lines-auto for the Property Casualty Insurers Association, a car
insurance trade organization. Mr. Kummer believes that there are more women
drivers, because more females hold down jobs today than a quarter-century
ago. "All these factors lead to more deaths among women drivers and their
auto insurance costs are rising in direct proportion to their accident and
death rates from crashes." "Reckless driving used to be the province of
male drivers as opposed to women," he says. "We're seeing more and more
examples these days of women driving aggressively and exhibiting road rage,
which represent poor behavior behind the wheel."
