Women have the reputation of
being worse drivers than men
—but. where accidents—are con-,

figures to substantiate this popu-
lar belief.
These facts are revealed in a
new booklet “Smash Hits., of the

ers Insurance Company, as the

more than 90 per cent of all fatal
and non-fatal accidents in 1939
involved male drivers. Where
fattil accidents alone are cons.d-
ered, the female of the species
has an even better record, being
charged with -the. responsibility
for less than seven per cent.
The answer undoubtedly rests
in the fact that a greater number
