“Love or Control? Woman Confronts Boyfriend’s Shocking Misogyny After He Declares She Can’t Drive Him Anywhere!”

According to The New York Times, male drivers of cars and vans are responsible for twice as many fatal accidents than women. Male truck drivers also account for four times as many fatal accidents as female truck drivers, and men riding motorcycles cause nearly 12 times as many accidents as women motorcyclists. 

So you might be thinking, “Well, men are better technical drivers than women.” But actually, a study from Netstar found that women performed better than men in a variety of metrics related to technical skills, including avoiding potholes, harsh braking, harsh acceleration and harsh cornering. Another study also found that, although women may take more time when parking, they’re more accurate than men when doing so.

Both men and women can be responsible for causing accidents, but Bruckheim & Patel law firm reports that men tend to make more risky decisions behind the wheel. They are more likely to use substances while driving, and they receive over two thirds of all traffic violations. 

Overcoming a phobia is difficult but not impossible

In this case, however, it does not sound like statistics will help the author overcome his phobia. So what will? According to Verywell Mind, about 12.5% of American adults struggle with a specific phobia at some point.  And there are five types of specific phobias: animal type, natural environment type, blood-injection-injury type, situational type and other. 

When it comes to conquering these fears, Verywell Mind recommends working on desensitizing yourself, finding support in others with the same or similar phobias, joining a support group, using relaxation, visualization and breathing techniques, and seeking treatment.
