The Age-Old Debate Has Been Settled: Data Suggests South African Women Are Superior Drivers Compared to Men

• Nestar, a South African telematics company, has produced data that suggests female drivers are better than their male counterparts
• The result was calculated on the number of car accidents, harsh braking, harsh acceleration, and harsh cornering
• According to Netstar's data women drivers performed better than men across all the parameters recorded by the company

South African female drivers are better than men when it comes to harsh driving style and vehicle impacts.

According to Netstar, the company honed in on four areas: vehicle impacts, harsh braking, harsh acceleration, and harsh cornering among its female and male clients. The result was that women were superior to men in every area.

Netstar describes vehicle impacts as including hitting potholes, pavements, or other vehicles. The data shows that 1.3% of the total number of the telematics company's female clients were involved in vehicle impacts in comparison to 1.4% for men.
