What would we do without all of these “studies” and their “experts.”

“Men and women crashed in minivans and SUVs in about equal proportions, the researchers found. But around 70% of women crashed in cars, compared with about 60% of men. And more than 20% of men crashed in pickups, compared with less than 5% of women.”
What I now understand.
Men and women crash minivans and SUVs at the same rate.
Women crash cars 10% more than men.
Women crash trucks at a lower rate than men.
Conclusion
Everyone should drive a truck.

“Conclusion

There conclusion will be to raise the taxes on trucks so that men buy fewer trucks and we achieve gender equality and save the planet for the children.

Manufacturers have to make the small cars to meet CAFE standards. So Fiat makes a ton of 500s to offset Jeep Cherokees and Dodge Durangos.

People need to buy a safe car. Go to the IIHS site before buying any vehicle.
It tells you how you will be maimed or killed when that vehicle is in an accident.

For years smaller cars have been killing men and women. Now that someone says the deaths are not “equal,” they go into a panic over the news.
Here’s a hint. Women are on average smaller than men, on average. So naturally women choose smaller cars.
What next? legislation to kill as many men as needed to achieve “equality” in the deaths?

On the one hand, single women, even obese ones, cram themselves into tiny cars, probably for appearance’s sake. OTOH, married women are often seen driving massive “Mommy Boat” SUVs with their kids. Statistically, though, this makes a lot of sense.

women more often drive smaller, lighter cars and that they’re more likely than men to be driving the struck vehicle in side-impact and
front-into-rear crashes. Front-into-rear crashes. On their cell phones and checking their makeup?

Watch this get spun into “masculine toxicity” because men drive big, strong trucks that mangle little cars driven by women. Until it turns out that most of the accident initiators are illegal aliens. Then you will never hear another word about the subject. :)

My brother-in-law is a doctor with lots of ER experience and when he married my sister she was driving a mid 90’s Nissan Altima. He went and bought her a Ford Expedition and told her to drive it. She asked why such a big vehicle instead of my car? He said because I have worked too many ER victims cut out of small cars and very few in big vehicles, please drive the Expedition.

"... driving the
struck vehicle," the article says, not the striking vehicle.
Of course, gerbalism being what it is, the author could mean the exact opposite of what the text says.

Driving one of those is like cliff diving and not knowing the depth of the water but you feel lucky.

If you look closely, you will eventually realize that this woman has some kind of a car wrapped around her.

How about the fact that women usually being built a bit more ‘delicately’ than men are more likely to be injured by blunt-force trauma than a man, no matter the size of the car being wrecked.
Oh no! Have I written something ‘wrong’?
