Gals wheel bad drivers

Baby, you can’t drive my car.

Guys now have a good reason to hang on to the keys, as new research shows women are more likely to crash their cars than men.

A University of Michigan study of 6.5 million two-car collisions found that crashes in which both drivers were women are more common than those in which both drivers were men.

Situations in which male and female drivers hit each other were in line with what the researchers expected, given that men drive about 60 percent of all miles.

The study’s principal author, Michael Sivak, could offer no explanation for why gals crash more often than guys.
