美國司機男女比例係62%對38%,但以2017為例,致命車禍有74%都係男司機
Do Men Or Women Cause More Accidents?
Women. According to the Federal Highway Administration, female drivers travel about 6,408 miles less than men annually. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that men cause on average 6.1 million accidents annually compared to the 4.4 million caused by women annually, meaning men account for 62% of all driving but only cause 58% of all accidents.
This means that women do cause more accidents on average per capita. But are women more dangerous drivers? Short answer: no, men are statistically worse drivers.
Which Gender Causes More Fatal Accidents?
Men. The IIHS reports that motor vehicle crashes involving men are far more severe when compared to women. Contributing factors that males are more likely to cause fatal injuries include, speed, driving while under the influence of alcohol, aggressive driving, and drive without a seat belt.
For example, in 2017, according to the Insurance Information Institute, women caused 12,502 fatal crashes when compared to the 37,477 caused by men.

A Guardian analysis of government road accident and journey data shows that in 2020 and the first half of 2021, 4,363 male drivers were involved in collisions that seriously injured or killed pedestrians, compared with 1,473 female drivers.
Including trips by car, van, motorbike and in other private vehicles, this equates to 2.8 serious collisions – those involving a pedestrian being injured or killed – for every 10m journeys by men, compared with 1.04 for women.
