Reasons why women drive safer than men

Calmness, concentration on driving and obeying traffic laws are qualities that women excel at compared to men, according to BMW.

Less traffic law violation

This is a proven fact in many places. Male drivers tend to ignore laws and regulations that they find silly. Meanwhile, women tend to comply and this helps them avoid unnecessary collisions.

Less likely to cause serious accidents

Aggressive driving habits of men often cause accidents, even fatalities. A study by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that since the 1950s, male drivers have caused more fatal accidents than female drivers each decade.

maternal instinct

Women tend to be safer and more conscious due to their maternal instincts. In 80% of accidents involving pedestrians, the culprit behind the wheel is usually a man. In these cases, women are more attentive and careful.

Wear seat belt when getting in the car

Wearing a seatbelt doesn’t make you a safer driver, but it does show that women are more likely to follow the rules and care about their own safety. They also remind others to wear seatbelts when they get in the car.

Men get angry easily when there is a collision on the road.

It is rare for women to talk to each other with their hands and feet during a car accident on the road. However, it is more common in men. This is because women have estrogen which helps them learn to be safer and stay calm in stressful situations.

Focus more on driving

Women tend to have better and longer attention spans than men. This is because estrogen is found in higher levels in women than in men, according to scientists. This factor helps women focus on important tasks like driving better than men.

Men still often drive drunk.

Many men think they are fine drivers even after drinking. However, many accidents involve drivers who have consumed alcohol. Women are less likely to be involved in these cases.

Men often argue about ownership.

Men often think they have the right to own what they use, including the way it is on the road. This attitude is not found in women.

Because women say they drive safely

According to BMW, although women have lower driving skills than men, it is an undeniable fact that they tend to drive more safely than men.
