A study done by Bradford University in the UK proved that women have fewer accidents and traffic violations. Internationally, men not only drive faster, they incur the majority of driving offences, have more accidents and overall, overestimate their driving prowess. This desire for men to take more risks than their female counterparts has been historically tied to socialization – but now we are seeing the biological component of these behaviours play a part as well.
