Women vs men. Who is better driving a car? This dispute seems to never stop. But the facts are stubborn. We decided to dispel the most popular myths.

1. Women have no mythical features of brain development

Science does not stand still. Scientists have long dispelled the myth of the superiority of men on the road. Watching both floors on the racing track, they came to the conclusion that women drive no worse than men. They did not record differences in the speed of reactions and other physiological indicators, such as temperature, heart rate and breathing.

2. Women go safer

Women behave more carefully on the road than men. If the ladies are a little “slowed down”, then this is from the fact that they more carefully evaluate the road situation. And not at all because they looked in the mirror or do not know the rules of the road. Statistics also suggest that when buying a car, 97% of drivers are interested in airbags. Among men, this indicator reaches only 14%.

3. Women less often arrange accidents

If you believe the reports about the accident, then among the victims of car accidents with deaths are much more than women. In general, women are less likely to get in an accident. And if this happens, then the consequences are not so catastrophic. All because the ladies do not drive along the roads. They always think about the safety of other drivers and passengers in the cabin.

4. Women cause less damage

Men not only more often arrange an accident, but also cause more damage to cars of other drivers. They also do not spare their car and are more often divided into "total". According to the statistics of insurance companies, women aged 40-50 years are the most accurate category of drivers. In the USA, for example, insurers offer this category more favorable conditions. And there are no gender prejudices. Pure business.

5. Women are less likely to violate the rules

Women are much less likely to drive in a state of intoxication. They try to adhere to the speed mode, are less distracted on a mobile phone and pay more attention to monitoring of blind areas. In general, women behave more politely in relation to other road users.

6. Historical background

When disputes flare up about the predisposition of different sexes to driving, an argument is inevitably given that there are practically no women in motorsport. But it is there that you can demonstrate your outstanding skill. The answer is quite simple. The date of birth of motorsport can be considered 1894, when the first car race was held in France. At that time, a decent woman is not a car behind the wheel, she could not even go out to the street unaccompanied by a man. More than a hundred years have passed, and the female pilots in Formula 1 is still a rarity.
