Why men are considered more risky to insure than women According to research from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, which examines the behaviours of American drivers, men are more likely to engage in aggressive driving behaviours, such as speeding through a red light. In addition, men happen to get into more collisions overall than women. Data from Statistics Canada shows that of the 1,851 deaths reported in 2018, 1,313 involved male drivers — accounting for 29 per cent of overall deaths that year — compared to 538 involving female drivers. The Traffic Injury Research Foundation has found that in fatigue-related accidents, the driver is typically young, male, and alone.
