Amazing how many misogynists there are in and around this so-called cosmopolitan area.
Men are more than twice as likely to die in a car crash than women. In fact, studies have shoiwn as many as 73 percent of all people killed in car accidents are male.

Having said that, I don't think that gender has that much to do with the way a person drives. They either are considerate drivers who pay due attention to conditions around the, or they are not. And even the best driver can have an inattentive moment and that is all it takes sometimes.

The victims of car crashes is not the same as the drivers of cars that crash Hovite.

Men are more likely to have road rage and show aggresive behaviour and showing off. There have been lots of fatal crashes involving young men showing off and killing their female passengers or people in other cars. There was an accident on the seafront a few years back when someone killed two sisters. He survived.
Personally I drive on the road with the mind set of everyones a bad driver and I make sure I am in a safe bubble of space. I don't know which driver has just passed there test,which one is not familier with the road and which one is an idiot.

That's not good and I wouldn't want to be anywhere near someone who's skill behind the wheel leaves that much to be desired.

Don't understand how someone can lose control of a vehicle on a big wide straight road with a 30 limit and crash into a building.

I do agree though, how the hell do you lose control on a straight road? Maybe the '2am' reference sort of gives the game away. Looking forward to the full story tomorrow
