The car accident aroused the concern of the citizens of Hong Kong. Because the two private cars involved were all driven by female drivers, many netizens pointed the finger at all female drivers and criticized the female drivers as having problems with their driving skills and attitudes. Some netizens with extreme stances They even scolded female drivers for "don't get out of the way to harm others," "it's all banned," and "just like playing on the phone, a woman's logic is not the same as a man."
However, some netizens retorted that the accidents of individual drivers cannot be generalized and the discussion should be based on actual figures.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has integrated the traffic accident data of the U.S. Department of Transportation. One column is the fatal traffic accident rate per million miles of passenger vehicles from April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017. And by gender, age and classification.
Since the figure is based on a million miles, it can exclude the fact that there are more male drivers, longer distances, and the actual number of traffic accidents.
In addition, although the figures are from the United States, they can be used as reference.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) integrates traffic accident data from the US Department of Transportation. Among the fatal traffic accidents per million miles of passenger vehicles, the rate of males is actually higher than that of females.

It can be seen from the figures in the above table that, in addition to the fact that male drivers have a higher rate of fatal traffic accidents than females on the whole, the same conclusions can be drawn even according to different age groups, but the difference in the rates of individual age groups is large, indicating that female drivers The number of fatal traffic accidents involving drivers is actually lower than that of men.
Taking 20-29 years old as an example, the ratio of male drivers is about 2.4 times that of female drivers, but for those over 70, the ratio of male drivers is only about 1.3 times that of female drivers.
