On the roads men are much more dangerous than women suggested a new report from the Institute of Advanced Motoring (IAM). Called License to Skill: Contributory factors in road accidents says male motorists, more so than their counterparts, are likely to be involved in accidents because of bad habits in driving like drink-driving and driving too fast.
Men were found to be more reckless, driving more carelessly and in more of a hurry more of the time. Even though men were spotlighted by IAM as having a higher probability of having an accident twice the number of men say they are very confident on the road as women.
Simon Best, chief executive of IAM says this study shows we need to look into the psyche of the male driver in order to reduce the over confidence and the risk behavior. And lives could be saved simply by improving the driver skills of both men and women.
This is being leaned toward as the government is going to introduce for careless driving offences, driving training even though all should consider taking it. Driving is life long, and requires lifelong training to keep up with the skill.
