In today’s post, you local Buick auto dealers take on a sensitive subject. That is the subject of male drivers vs. female drivers. When you’re behind the wheel and a driver of the opposite sex has cut you off or done something else against normal driving conventions, you’ve probably mumbled to yourself, “Stupid [opposite sex] driver!” But are we really that different? Your Buick auto dealers want to know.
A study of more than 150,000 drivers in Germany may have to answer. The business consultancy NAFI did a poll for Capital Investor, a weekly finance publication, to study the driving habits of men and women. Here are some of the things they found.
• 25 percent of women polled were willing to let a friend driver her car. The number fell to 16 percent for men.
• In a household with a married couple that has two cars, the man is more likely to commandeer the vehicle that is worth the most.
• Only 2 percent of the women surveyed would consider purchasing a car that’s worth more than $78,600. More than 5 percent of men would make the same consideration.
• 46 percent of the men polled drive between 7,460 and 18,640 miles each year while about 60 percent of the women drive less than 7,460 miles each year.
Does this confirm or reject your ideas about the differences between male and female drivers?
