Driving is one of the most dangerous things that people regularly do

Getting behind the wheel can be scary for anyone, regardless of their gender. Forbes reports that in the United States alone, 42,514 fatal car accidents occurred during 2022, and during the same year, nearly 6 million auto accidents were reported to police. 

Some of the most common causes for car crashes include drunk driving, speeding, distracted driving and driving while drowsy. But unfortunately, there are a million different ways these accidents can occur, and no one can ever be 100% sure that they’re safe while on the road.  

In fact, it is relatively common to have a fear of driving, VeryWell Mind notes on their site. This fear, amaxophobia, often stems from having a bad experience on the road, such as being in a traumatic car accident, or observing how family and friends treat driving. For example, if you’ve seen your father drive drunk your entire life, you may be acutely aware of the dangers that other drivers may pose towards you. 

While this isn’t the phobia present in this particular situation, it is understandable for people to be aware of the risks of getting into a vehicle.

Women tend to be even safer drivers than men

When it comes to the issue of this man only being scared of female drivers, however, it can be easy to assume that sexism may be a factor. We’ve all heard misogynistic jokes about how women are terrible drivers and that men are much better behind the wheel. But is there any truth behind these jests?
