Johannesburg – Statistics from Alexander Forbes Insurance show that men have fewer accidents than women. However, the extent of the damage done to vehicles is more “severe”.
In a statement released on Monday, L’eanne Harrington, senior manager at Alexander Forbes Retail, said: “Men have more vehicles written off than women do.”
Statistics show, from middle age, there is a higher accident partial damage frequency for female drivers. Harrington said this could be caused by distractions from little children in the car, or by young learner-drivers driving a mother’s car.
