| Kuala Lumpur: Women drivers are "getting more aggressive" than men, an expert said today, adding "the number of women involved in accidents is on the rise".
He said that based on the number of traffic summons and court cases against women, a trend of aggressive driving by women has emerged.
"Based on what we can see, the attitude of male drivers has improved but women are getting more aggressive," the media quoted the expert as saying.
"Hence, the number of women involved in accidents is on the rise."
He said the attitude of drivers was the main cause of road accidents.
"Drivers who are aggressive, emotional and distracted while driving are dangerous.
"Most people will, at one time or another, feel like strangling their fellow drivers but it becomes a criminal act when you follow up on that intention with an aggressive act (such as chasing after a vehicle)," he said on Wednesday. |
