You really would be better off sitting in a car with a female driver, for a new research found that of the two sexes, it’s men who are more likely to be distracted. According to an NRMA Motoring and Services survey of 1350 motorists,8% of men admitted they crashed their car as a result of being distracted while driving as compared to just 5% women.
When it came to a near miss, men also outdid women by a 10%,with only 20% women reporting a close call due to distraction caused by reading newspaper, kissing or chasing insects while driving.
