The majority of men believe they are better drivers than women, according to a study. The motorists were marked on 14 different aspects of driving including speed, observational skill, response to other road users and traffic light obedience. They examined the risk posed by men and women to other road users from bicycles, cars and taxis, vans, buses, lorries and motorbikes. Women should be employed in road transport jobs over men to reduce the overall risk to other road users, the team concluded. Finally, a study of professional racers has found women are genetically better at dealing with the extreme conditions at the wheel.
