A UK insurance brokerage firm estimates that women are less likely to be involved in an accident than men - do they lead better?
Confused.com compiled and compared the British insurance market deals with the 585,000 court cases that were launched against British motorists in 2017 due to traffic accidents. Four out of every five cases were affected by men, but this is not all: 23 percent of the men in question were reported due to overspending, while women were only 7 percent. They met similar proportions in drunk driving (5: 1 for the benefit or harm of men), while those who had driven a motor vehicle with no mandatory insurance or did not pay the vehicle tax was twice as much as the woman.
As far as accidents are concerned, men are more often affected than women. Two thirds of the compensation claims filed with British insurance companies in 2017 were made by men. Regarding the ratio of accidents due to their own error, men lead to 17: 9 ratio. And if that were not enough, accidents caused by or suffered by men were typically more expensive, though the difference did not exceed a few percent.
From the questionnaire of the research, it also turned out that men's driving habits are worse than women: every fourth car in the former has admitted that it has no bandwidth, whereas in women this ratio is only six for one.
