According to the statistics of the Ministry of Public Security's national motor vehicle ownership survey, the number of motor vehicle drivers in the mainland has reached 456 million, and the number of car drivers has reached 418 million, of which female drivers account for 32.43% (148 million people), and this proportion has not yet reached 1/3 of the total number of drivers. According to the statistics of traffic violations of motor vehicle drivers in Beijing, among female motor vehicle drivers, the number of people punished for traffic violations accounted for 52.9%, while the proportion of male motor vehicle drivers was as high as 81.9%. At the same time, taking the same driving mileage as a quantitative statistical standard, in the case of traffic accident deaths, the proportion of women who are negligent is only 6.2%...
It can be seen that in today's society, due to various traffic accident special cases and network dissemination caused by the "stereotype" of female motor vehicle drivers has been ironclad, perhaps in special links such as parking, wrong cars, female drivers, female drivers The average technical level is inferior to that of male drivers, but the legal and compliant way of driving on the road, female drivers are the ones who do better.
So, what are the reasons for the stereotypes and misunderstandings about "female drivers"? What problems do female drivers themselves have during the driving process? Let's talk about it.
First of all, as we mentioned earlier, with the increasing frequency and rapid exchange of online information and media communication, coupled with the editing and dissemination of online self-media videos, the driving mistakes made by "female drivers" in traffic accidents on the Internet are infinitely magnified. However, any major traffic accident caused by female drivers will be pushed into the hot search, which invisibly causes the impression of "poor female drivers' driving skills" and "female drivers are prone to cause traffic accidents".
But in fact, in all kinds of traffic accidents caused by the fault of female drivers, most of the problems we see are also committed by many male motor vehicle drivers, if all traffic accidents are included in the statistics, such as looking at mobile phones during driving, wrongly stepping on the brakes or throttle in emergencies, etc., the absolute number of male involved may even be more.
Again, let's look at some problems that female drivers are more likely to have in the daily driving process.
According to the statistics of the "Survey Report on the Car Purchase Needs and Car Habits of Female Users" of the enterprise research platform, half of the female motor vehicle drivers surveyed said that they did not have bad driving habits; however, in the actual driving survey statistics and the statistics of female car owners interviewed, the bad habits that often appear are "rich and diverse".
Talking and replying to various messages during driving is one of the most common bad driving habits, and this is often the main problem that causes small accidents in the process of urban commuting. Among the bad habits related to driving, 26% of female drivers are accustomed to adjusting the seat to the front end to get a better forward observation view, but this will lead to too close the distance between the seat, arm and steering wheel, which is a safety hazard in terms of emergency collision safety protection and steering wheel operation. Of course, these problems are also easy to see in the male driver group, in other words, these bad habits are not typical problems for female drivers.
If it is necessary to count bad driving habits by gender, then driving with high heels, thick-soled shoes or sandals is indeed a typical problem mainly seen in female drivers; in addition, female drivers are more likely to lead to accidental traffic accidents in the gap between slow travel or waiting for traffic lights.
Of course, in the case of typical problems about bad driving habits, male drivers are no less than female drivers, such as using mobile phones to watch various sports or e-sports competitions during driving, smoking while operating the steering wheel with one hand, drinking water in a straight line and leaving the steering wheel with both hands, etc. These male drivers' "routine operations" during driving are also common factors that lead to traffic accidents.
In addition, according to the relevant statements of the traffic police department, male motor vehicle drivers are more likely to appear in the process of speeding, drunk driving and other illegal acts, and there is the wrong behavior of driving a "fighting gas car", and the latter "road rage" has become the "hardest hit area" of the current traffic violations.
Combining these statistics on traffic violations and bad driving habits, it is easy to see that in the typical and atypical driving problems that are actually prevalent in the same gender of motor vehicle drivers, the network is an important reason for female drivers to be unfairly labeled and many people wear colored glasses. Objectively speaking, some female drivers in the driving process may lead to some ridiculous traffic accidents because of some overly cautious situations, but overall, the rigor of female drivers does make them make fewer mistakes on the highway.
