Safest drivers: Women in their 30s
Mon, 30 Jan 2006
A new study has revealed that 33-year old women are the safest drivers.
Research carried out at the University of Calgary in Canada revealed that as an age group, women in their late twenties and early thirties are the safest and most responsible on the road, reaching their most cautious at age 33.
For every billion kilometers driven among 33-year old women, only four fatalities occur, compared to 40 among 20-year old males, reports the Times, highlighting the advantages for women of taking out specialist women's car insurance policies.
Accident data studied by the research team also found that male drivers are at their safest between the ages of 33 and 54, with fewer than eight drivers killed per billion kilometers in this age group.
According to the study, the over-80s had the highest fatality and accident rate for both men and women, although the researchers claimed that the statistics had been distorted by the small number and low mileage of older drivers.
