Who’s the better driver? Men or women?
Recent research at insurance.com has answered the age old question. And guys? It’s time to turn over the keys.
Rob Klapper, insurance.com CEO said women are the better drivers. He said they looked at more than 7 million American drivers to determine which gender reported one or more violations when requesting comparison quotes. Turns out men report more, almost across the board, regardless of age or education level. Percentage differences were very close, suggesting there’s more equality among drivers than popular belief might suggest.
Totaled, 31 percent of female drivers reported one or more violations, compared with 33 percent of males.
Things change, though, when we’re talking about married and unmarried people. Married females report one or more violations more often than married males (32 percent to 28 percent), while single males report more violations than single females (36 percent to 31 percent).
