Jiang Sheng | This time, the female driver does not carry the pot

The recent Chongqing bus crash incident, many netizens are scolding "female drivers are really terrible" and "the facts are here, it is female drivers"... Unexpectedly, the incident finally came a reversal, and the matter had nothing to do with the female driver. This dramatic reversal can't help but make us think deeply - why do female drivers always carry the pot in traffic accidents?

In general traffic accident reports, if it is a male driver who causes an accident, the gender role is almost not prominent. But if it is a traffic accident caused by a female driver, it will always attract special attention. Just yesterday, another piece of news came out on the Internet, which is very illustrative of this tendency: and this kind of operation! The female driver kicked the throttle through the security booth, injuring two people. It can be seen that this tendency to highlight female drivers in the title can easily lead us into a kind of arrogance and prejudice.

Big data can best explain the truth, the traffic police departments in Hangzhou, Nanjing, Jinan have investigated, in 2016, the proportion of male drivers in Hangzhou was 6 times that of female drivers, 2.4 times in Nanjing, and 3.71 times in Jinan. Male drivers are not necessarily safer than female drivers, and in the face of traffic accidents, there is no distinction between men and women.

Chongqing bus crash incident, this time, the female driver does not carry the pot. It's time to correct our long-standing arrogance and prejudice against female drivers, really examine our own traffic habits, learn to review our own traffic habits from other people's traffic accidents, and make safety the standard for our travel.
