Men and Women Drivers
The driver is the most commonly reported factor responsible to death and injury on the roads (Sabey and Taylor, 1980; Department for Transport, 2008). Most people would drive at speeds and within the legal limit allowing them to cope with the challenge of the driving task. Although drivers speed and their capability can be diminished through tiredness, drink and drugs, which may impact on their ability to negotiate road safety and sometimes result in collisions. Attitude can be a subject to change which general contain cognitive, affective and behavioural elements and driver boredom which may relate to all three.
Men between the ages of 16 and 25 are much more likely to be involved in accidents, or be cited for traffic violations."
There was a risk analysis study funded by The American Auto Club, at Carnegie Mellon University in 2007, in part said, "men have a 77% higher risk of dying in an accident compared to women. The study, using information from both the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and the National Household Travel Survey estimated fatalities per 100 million trips to be 14.61 for men and 6.53 for women. The total number of fatalities between 1999 and 2005 were 175,094 for men and 82,371 women. Very few young men are careful drivers. They do not have the skills to manage the road effectively. They have bad tempers and make very bad decisions. The insurance companies agree that young males make bad decisions and display their aggression in an open and direct way.
Young people will always pay more for car insurance just because they have no record of safe driving.
It is hypothesised that the driving performance of women is less aggressive than that of male’s drivers.
Design
The independent variable would be age/gender while the dependant variable would be aggressive behaviour. This would be experimental.
Aggressive behaviour would be tested by * How the participants drive their dodging cars, * The amount of times the participant’s
