NO... You’re are attempting to define “better” as having fewer accidents. A small percentage of men who are excessive risk takers skews the results. The ability: Driving, has a range of characteristics that has to be considered when determining what is best. “Accidents” is only one characteristic.

Think of the population of male and female drivers as a bell curve and then remove the extremes at the ends. The average man will be better than the average woman. The worst male drivers will be worse than the worse female drivers and the best male drivers will be better than the best female drivers.

Statistically speaking men tend to have better spatial awareness than women. This translates into higher driving abilities. Look at the domination of men in the motor sports...

Better was the term used here.

Skilled does not necessarily mean better.

Judgement and safety record certainly count at least as much as skilled to define a better driver.
