Bruce Jenner Crash

Bruce Jenner was in a car accident where 5 people were injured and one person died the other day.

Bruce is also transitioning to become a woman.  

Could he already be driving like a LADY!

As Aerosmith said,

"Dude, drives like a lady"

Just kidding ladies!

Well, check out these statistics from a Kansas State University study. Researchers found several differences in the types of crashes between young men and women, including:

• Young females were 66 percent more likely to wear a seat belt than young males.
• Young females were 28 percent more likely to drive on a restricted license than young males.
• Young female drivers had more crashes at intersections and collisions with pedestrians.
• Young males had more crashes after sunset than young females.
• Young female drivers were more likely to be involved in crashes during weekdays, while young male drivers were more likely to be involved in crashes during the weekend.
• Young male drivers had more off-road crashes than young females.
• I’ll admit that, Men are more likely to engage in risky behavior, for example having conversations including the phrase “Hey, hold my beer and watch this.”

But the news release didn’t mention alcohol use or other dangerous behaviors. And young female drivers and young male drivers seemed to perform about equally poorly in the results.

The researchers, Niranga Amarasingha and Sunanda Dissanayake of Kansas State University, reviewed records from the Kansas Accident Reporting System that covered the 138,3888 crashes occurring between 2007 and 2011, in which the drivers were between 15 and 24 years old, and in which the accidents involved injuries or moderate property damage.

“There are often different risk factors for young male and young female drivers because their behavior and attitude are generally different,” Dissanayake said. “This may help explain why one gender is more likely to be involved in a certain type of crash. For example, young males may have more off-road crashes because this crash type is more frequently involved with speeding on rural roads — a driving habit exhibited more by young males than young females.”

The value of the findings therefore would be to categorize the type of instruction emphasized to young drivers of a particular gender. “You guy need to buckle up more and quit racing down those back roads.” “You ladies need to be more careful as you navigate those intersections and watch out for people walking in the street.
