A look at percentages.. this used to be on a site (corporateliesexposed.com) - if anyone has seen this before or knows where to link it for the exact numbers, I would appreciate it. I used this in a paper while I was still in high school as one of the examples of reverse gender discrimination in the late 90s.

I'll just hit the high points that I can remember.

Insurance Companies' Justification
[*] Raw numbers, men are involved in more auto accidents than women and receive more citations for speeding and wreckless endangerment.

The Numbers That Matter
[*] In the United States, the ratio of men to women drivers is nearly 3:1[*] When the above statistic is taken into account, studies show that women are nearly twice as likely to be involved in an automobile accident.[*] This was further confirmed by recent scientific studies which proved that women actually take several milliseconds longer than men to make a decision when presented with a situation similar to an auto accident.[*] Raw numbers, women cause more damage (both in terms of dollars per accident and total dollars per year) and also cause more deaths each year than men.[*] An audit in 1998 showed that a female who is pulled over is more than 15 times more likely to drive away with a warning or even no reprimand at all.

This is just what I could remember.. if anyone knows a link to the study please let me know. Thanks.
