Men are better drivers than women and get in less wrecks - backed by facts.

I did some math and got my numbers from the National Highway Safety Administration.


Men cause 6.1 million accidents per year compared to 4.4 million caused by women.

And women make up 105.7 million drivers whereas men make up 104.3 million.

However, men drive 16,550 miles per year on average compared to 10,142 for women.

That means men make up 1,726,165,000,000 miles driven per year compared to 1,072,009,400,000 miles per year for women.

So that adds up to 1 accident per 282,978 miles for men and 1 accident per 243,639 miles for women.


Or another way to look at it, for every 100 accidents women cause, men cause 86.
