Men are three times more likely than women to receive traffic tickets and be involved in accidents while driving. They are also more prone to creating dangerous situations on the road.
In addition, men are twice as likely to drive under the influence and are nearly one-third more likely to receive prison sentences for reckless driving.
According to one expert, this difference may be due to cultural norms and distinct attitudes toward driving. Men tend to drive faster and more aggressively, and are more likely to drive under the influence. In contrast, only 10% of women convicted of traffic offenses were charged with driving under the influence.
