And Another One Bites The Dust

The myth that women drivers are more dangerous than men had again been challenged in a new study done by the New York City Department of Transportation. The transportation planners commissioned the study to help them decide ways to make the city safer for it pedestrians. Several things that they learned were surprising.

1. Taxi were less likely to be involved in pedestrian/automobile accidents that privately owned cars.

2. Jaywalkers were less likely to be involved in an accident that people who cross with the light.

3. Eighty percent of pedestrian/automobile accidents that resulted in serious injury or death involved male drivers.

4. Fifty-seven percent of all cars registered in NYC belong to male drivers.

5. And as as we already knew, beside the fact that women drivers are safer than men, left turns are dangerous.
