Is "female driver" a "road killer"? Wake up!

When it comes to the term "female driver", I believe many people will think of some bridges on the Internet, and in real life, there are even many people who call them "road killers". I have to admit that some individual female drivers have indeed had very strange traffic accident cases, such as using the throttle as a brake to step on, and creating a surprising scene. But let's not forget that male compatriots can also make such low-level mistakes. In my opinion, the term "female driver" is not only gender biased, but also quite derogatory.

Perhaps in the cognition of most people, the accident rate of female drivers is much higher than that of men. In fact, it is not so, but quite the opposite. According to the report presented by the China Judicial Big Data Research Institute, during the period from 2016 to 2019, the average 10,000 case rate of male drivers for domestic traffic accident crimes was 2.2, while the average 10,000 case rate for female drivers was only 0.25. In contrast, the 10,000-person male driver case rate is 8.8 times that of female drivers.

In fact, in real life, it can also be clearly felt that for most female drivers, it is not as bad as people think.

For example, in my neighborhood, every morning and afternoon walking to pick up and drop off children, I will see vehicles rushing in and out, and nearly half of them are female drivers. Over the past few years, inside the community, I have seen countless disputes over the scraping of two cars, but usually male drivers.
