The statistics, based on a telephone survey of 2384 drivers and AAMI claims data collected last year, revealed that men are more likely to act aggressively behind the wheel.
The study found that 47 per cent of men and 38 per cent of women have rudely gestured at other drivers.
And 84 per cent of men have crashed their vehicle, compared to 77 per cent of women.
“Our claims data shows that men's crashes tend to be more serious than women’s,” AAMI spokesman Geoff Hughes said.
“They are more likely to be involved in head-on collisions, roll-overs and loss-of-control crashes, as well as crashes involving pedestrians, cyclists and animals.”
Sure, 84% of men have crashed their car. That's probably because some old lady cut them off and forced them off the road. And men's crashes are "more serious than women's" because men are not scared of the freeway while women take the 45mph side roads.
It isn't until way later in the article before they finally admit:
Women are more likely to be involved in relatively minor crashes such as reversing into stationary objects.
The female brain is not as good at spatial relationships, so it is not surprising that they strike stationery objects more frequently than men.
"Reversing into stationary objects?" So yes, men get angry and are more aggressive and end up dying. Women just do stupid, small things that distract us, like look pretty and run over fire hydrants and cats.

Not that anyone reads this blog, but please don't email me with "you're a sexist" garbage. This is tongue in cheek. Have a sense of humor. I get enough emails about my reviews for "The Host" and "Apocalypto."
