Women have the reputation of
being worse drivers than men
but where accidents are con
cerned, statisticians can find no
figures to substantiate this popu
lar belief.
These facts are revealed In a
new booklet "Smash Hits of the
Year’’ Just Issued by The Travel
ers Insurance Company as the
tenth in its annual series of bul
letins dedicated to street and
highway safety.
Despite the fact that a Gallup
Poll showed a large majority of
persons feel safer riding with a
man at the steering wheel, the
company’s statisticians found that
more than 90 per cent of all fatal
and non-fatal accidents in 1939
involved male drivers. Where
fatal accidents alone are consid
ered, the female of the species
has an even better record, being
charged with the responsibility
for less than seven per cent.
The answer undoubtedly rests
In the fact that a greater number
of men drive more miles each
year and under more hazardous
conditions, the article concludes
No method has yet been found to
determine the relative risks faced
by males and females and until
such data are available no one
can say with accuracy which sex
