            Male chauvinism (men’s believe in male superiority) extends even into the area of automobile driving, it seems. Believing that they are far better drivers than women. Men consider women drivers incompetent, inattentive, and even dangerous behind the wheel.

            However, statistic prove that women are in fact safer drivers than men. For example, insurances rates for woman are 20 percent 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 groups. Also be greater percentage of accident involving deaths is caused by men. Although, women are criticized for being too cautions, they are really really just being safe drivers.

            The reason for women drivers’ safer driving habits can perhaps be found in the differing attitudes of sexes toward automobiles as a convenience, like a washing machine. On the other hand, men regard the automobile as their extension of their egos. Using it as a weapon when they feel particularly aggressive or using it as a status symbol.

            In all, women are safer drivers because of their attitudes. Men can learn to become safer drivers if they adopt the attitude that an automobile is merely a  convenience.
