It's because there are more woman drivers out there to crash into men.......
Risk of death for every living thing 100%! OMG We're all gonna die!!!!!!

Funny -- my favorite observation was a lady driving down the freeway at rush hour, bumper to bumper at 70 MPH, with a newspaper open on the steering wheel, putting on make-up in the visor mirror AND talking on her cell phone.
Is this what kills more men ??? :-)
I did search. I guess the title was just too different.
Could you hold my beer while I read this?
Not your fault. I saw the title and as soon I read the article it was exactly the same as the story I linked.
There are at least three postings, all with different titles and from different sources. I guess each outlet wanted its own unique headline :-)
No biggie, we get snarkier comments each time!
I have never had a ticket. I am 55 and will be 56 next month. I am a woman. Top That. Plus I live and drive in Los Angeles.
Here in Southern Cal. I see MEN ALL THE TIME, driving, talking on CELL PHONES at the same time, and NOT paying attention to traffic. I assume they are doing business while stuck in traffic. I also see a LOT of wrecks, and always wonder if it is same men on cell phones not paying attention then BAM!
It's hard to get killed in LA in a traffic accident. The traffic never gets above 25 MPH and if you get in a fender bender the other driver gets out and shoots you. Technically you didn't die as a result of the accident.
I recall reading somewhere that teen boys and young men have higher insurance rates than females because of higher accident rates, but that the rate levels out to being about the same as females as the men get older.
I DO know that insurance rates for teen boys are higher than for teen girls, so there's probably some truth to it.
More men drive drunk, therefore more men die in accidents.
Sad, but true.
That's because the woman while driving down the four lane road in the far right lane in the morning while looking in the rearview mirror putting on her makeup, chatting on the cellphone and drinking her coffee suddenly realized she needed to turn left at the exit she was about to cross. She cranks the wheel hard left cutting across the path of the car to her left, proceeds across the intersection narrowly missing two oncoming vehicles a passes a within inches of a pedestrians in the middle of the crosswalk, breathes a sight of relief that she didn't miss her turn and never even considers adjusting her rear view mirror to survey the after effects of what she just did.
Given the teen boys I know, charging them $20,000 a year for auto insurance is a losing proposition.
paraphrasing: Actor Edward Norton: "Given enough time, the life expectancy of everyone drops to zero."
That is because you cry when they pull you over.
(runs for cover)
I saw a guy a few months ago eating a bowl of cereal while driving. And I don't mean oatmeal. I kept watching as we went down the road and it was confirmed when he dumped the milk at a light. He saw me shaking my head in disbelief.
Did the report mention that men probably drive more than
twice the miles that women do? If you consider that then
the fewer men die per miles driven than women. JMHO.
