The line that men "tend" to engage in risky behaviour seems to me rather unscientific; "tend" is a word suggesting something untabulated. The article goes on to affirm that "gender differences in fatality risks diminish with age" (as one might expect) so the claim about "men" per se engaging in risky driving looks grossly unfair.

"...because men typically drive more than women..." only supports my argument that men are bound, statistically, to be involved in more accidents... this does not give scientific support to the claim that women are better drivers... the two things are unrelated. The latter is the subject of my thread.
