Take that, feminism: Women are statistically worse drivers than men

"They told me to look both ways!"

We are taught, as adults, that stereotypes are at best humor in poor taste and at worst blatant ignorance.  And some of the most frowned-upon stereotypes target women unfairly.

However, at least one common stereotype has been statistically confirmed by Dr. Michael Sivak at the University of Michigan: Female drivers are more likely to collide with each other than men are with other male drivers.  To reduce the numbers in common English, six out of ten drivers at any given time are men.  Sivak expected that a little less than half of all collisions would involve male-to-female, while proportionally more same-sex wrecks would involve men than women, since there are more men on the road.

Instead, Sivak found that, though male-to-male collisions still occur more frequently than female-to-female, they are proportionally imbalanced, his results being roughly thirty percent off from the expected trend.  Guess which gender was thirty percent more likely to collide with another member of the same gender?  I’ll give you a hint: Not male.
