Women Drivers are Safer, except for When Parking Men commit nine times as many motoring offences as women. Home Office figures show that the vast majority dealt with by courts for every type of traffic offence are male. The disparity between the sexes is greatest for the most serious offences, with men guilty of 97 percent of dangerous driving offences and 94 percent for causing death or bodily harm. Women's speeding offences have risen by four percentage points in the past five years, yet still constitute only 17 percent of the total. Women are far less likely to have high-speed collisions resulting in death.
