Fragment
Male chauvinism extends even into area of
automobile driving, it seems. Believing that they are far better drivers than
women, men drivers consider women drivers incompetent, inattentive, and even
dangerous behind the wheel.
However, statistics prove that women are,
in fact, safer drivers than men. For example, insurance rates for women are 20
percent lower than they are for men. Another proof is that more accidents are
caused by male drivers between the ages of 18 and 25 than by any other group.
Also, the greater percentages of accidents involving deaths are caused by the
men. Although women are criticized for being too cautious, they are really just
being safe drivers.
