If more women were hired for trucking jobs, the roads would be a lot safer, British researchers suggest.

not just a bit safer, but apparently MUCH safer

Utter bullshit.

Women spend less time behind the wheel than men and therefore: da de da de da...

Women don't drive HGV's, professional drivers do, the same with all couriers.

Some women drive HGV.s and are very professional

But my husband is used to driving them but his driving scares the shit out of me, he's safe and very alert but I think it's because I lost family in an RTA, he drives like a rally driver. I hate it!

it's not a survey you thick fuck

here's the original for the hard of thinking

How does mode of travel affect risks posed to other road users? An analysis of English road fatality data, incorporating gender and road type

Abstract
Background Most analysis of road injuries examines the risk experienced by people using different modes of transport, for instance, pedestrian fatalities per-head or per-km. A small but growing field analyses the impact that the use of different transport modes has on other road users, for instance, injuries to others per-km driven.

Methods This paper moves the analysis of risk posed to others forward by comparing six different vehicular modes, separating road types (major vs minor roads in urban vs rural settings). The comparison of risk posed by men and women for all these modes is also novel.

Results Per-vehicle kilometre, buses and lorries pose much the highest risk to others, while cycles pose the lowest. Motorcycles pose a substantially higher per-km risk to others than cars. The fatality risk posed by cars or vans to ORUs per km is higher in rural areas. Risk posed is generally higher on major roads, although not in the case of lorries, suggesting a link to higher speeds. Men pose higher per-km risk to others than women for all modes except buses, as well as being over-represented among users of the most dangerous vehicles.

Conclusions Future research should examine more settings, adjust for spatial and temporal confounders, or examine how infrastructure or route characteristics affect risk posed to others. Although for most victims the other vehicle involved is a car, results suggest policy-makers should also seek to reduce disproportionate risks posed by the more dangerous vehicles, for instance, by discouraging motorcycling. Finally, given higher risk posed to others by men across five of six modes analysed, policy-makers should consider how to reduce persistent large gender imbalances in jobs involving driving.

So not really about who is a better/safer driver (a comparison) at all then.

read the last line of the bit you actually quoted

jesus

What an idiot! Have fun Hobbit, try paint by numbers for the plank.

A man driving a car hits a woman. Whose fault is it? The man's. Why was he driving in the kitchen?

You obviously see it more than most of us do, but men are on the roads an awful lot more than women are...

Most people are shit behind the wheel, they don't have a clue as to the damage that they can do. People who drive for a living are far more cautious which makes this whole thing really, badly wrong. It should have been run through social demographics rather than men vs women.

"across 5 or 6 modes."

A study in to road fatalities.

It's not comparing women to men, as the title seems to claim.

Probably best not to take one sentence from a study on fatalities and then extrapolate that to women being safer drivers.

You must have missed this post raven.

Yeah, that would be a far more conclusive study.

A Lot of accidents are caused by people who have no idea they’ve even caused one! Drove like a cunt then carried on oblivious to the aftermath they’ve left behind. No survey can ever account for that type of thing...

That's the title from the newspaper article in the original quote

I get Karen doing her make up in the down ramp while Oliver is overtaking in his Costa cloud, 90 before he hits the tarmac and on the phone all the time in his Beemer. Big red vans are hard to miss so far!

These women vs men arguments are divisive and ultimately pointless. I've never understood the need to promote them.
