I am far from new here…………………..
Your remarks are both sexist and inaccurate.
If women were far worse drivers than men, young females would be charged far more than young males when they purchase insurance and start to drive.
BUT>>>>16-25 year old males are charged much more, they have a far higher accident rate and commit far more violations of the driving laws/statutes.

I have one associate in my firm that handles driving infractions/citations?DUI, etc in local traffic courts. 70% of those seeking representation are male.

“Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) released a report on gender-specific traffic deaths in America, segueing in with the fact that “many more men than women die each year in motor vehicle crashes.” It’s a fact that cannot be ignored, as studies from numerous publications prove that because men typically drive more than women and tend to engage in more risky driving practices, they stand a much higher chance of getting killed in an accident.

The NHTSA reports that traffic accidents were up across the board in 2015, with testosterone-fueled hoopleheads leading the reckless charge. Findings show that men are far more likely to skip safety belts entirely, drive while impaired by alcohol and/or drugs, and speed, making crashes that much more severe than those involving female drivers”
