In a study released by Quality Planning, ananalytics company that validates policyholderinformation for auto insurers, women cameout on top. The study analyzed different kinds of

vehicle code violations (traffic violations)and then compared how many times menwere cited versus women. The conclusionwas that men break more traffic laws anddrive more dangerously than women.Because they violate laws designed tomake the roads safer, men cause moreaccidents and expensive damage.

"We were not surprised to see that menhave slightly more violations about 5percent that result in accidents thanwomen," said Raj Bhat, president ofQuality Planning. "And because men arealso more likely to violate laws forspeeding, passing and yielding, theresulting accidents caused by men lead tomore expensive claims than those causedby women."

Topping the list is the finding that men arecited for reckless driving 3.41 more timesthan women. Reckless driving isconsidered one of the most serious trafficoffenses by courts since it implies adisregard for the rights and safety ofpeople or property. Auto.msn
