Do we need separate road safety tips for female drivers?
The Road Safety Blog received a Mama Taxi Cartoon with a reference to Women’s Month. Apart from the smile this also made me think! Do we need additional road safety information for female drivers and do they face different challenges on the road than male drivers?
Some insurers claim that women are less likely to be involved in accidents. Male drivers might argue that the only reason is that female drivers are simply traveling a lot less and are as a result not facing as many risks…
On the Arrive Alive Website we have included road safety suggestions for “women traveling alone”, This is done in recognition of the fact that hijackers might see these female drivers as more vulnerable.
Visit the Arrive Alive Website for info on: “Women Driving Alone”
We would like to invite everyone to send their suggestions on information that could possible assist our female drivers on the road!
[...] And then I found this picture that someone sent to the Road Safety Blog wrote about women drivers during Women’s Month (yes, that is now, August): Do we need separate road safety tips for female drivers? [...]
Again, there are NO figures to evaluate, so anyone can say anything they like.
Where are the official statistics? accidents per 1000km travelled, broken down by any category … taxis busses cars bikes and *women*.
if we knew what the reality was, we would be able to effectively tackle the problems.
