发帖数: 8200 | 1 More men than women die each year in motor vehicle crashes. Men typically
drive more miles than women and more often engage in risky driving practices
including not using safety belts, driving while impaired by alcohol, and
speeding. Crashes involving male drivers often are more severe than those
involving female drivers. 1 However, females are more likely than males to
be killed or injured in crashes of equal severity, although gender
differences in fatality risk diminish with age. 2
Both men and women traveled more miles in 2008 than in 1995. The percentage
increase in miles traveled between 1995 and 2008 was greater for women (13
percent) than for men (8 percent). Although both men and women travelled
more in 2008 than in 1995, the rate of fatal crashes per 100 million miles
of travel decreased 24 percent between 1995 and 2008 for both men and women.
