自20世纪80年代中期以来，人们一直关注美国越来越多的女性司机参与致命的机动车碰撞事故，世界其他地区也注意到了类似的趋势。本研究探讨了这种趋势是否一直持续到20世纪90年代，其原因。致命的碰撞数据来自死亡分析报告系统（法尔斯），里程数据来自全国个人交通调查，和许可证数据从联邦公路管理局。与1975年相比，1998年有更多的女性获得了驾驶执照，平均驾驶里程也更多。当考虑到每年总里程的变化时，男性和女性的每英里撞车率下降相似（约40%）。一项对他们致命车祸特征的调查显示，男性和女性司机在单车、夜间和与酒精有关的车祸中的减少情况相似。然而，男子仍然更经常地卷入这类撞车事故。(C)2002爱思唯尔科技有限公司。保留所有权利。
Since the mid-1980s there has been concern about the growing number of female drivers in the US involved in fatal motor vehicle crashes, and similar trends have been noted in other parts of the world. The present study examined whether this trend has continued into the 1990s and the reasons for it. Fatal crash data were obtained from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), mileage data from the National Personal Transportation Survey, and licensure data from the Federal Highway Administration. Many more women were licensed to drive in 1998 than in 1975, and on average they drove more miles. When changes in total annual mileage were taken into account, per-mile crash rates decreased similarly for men and women (about 40%). An examination-of the characteristics of their fatal crashes revealed that male and female drivers have seen similar reductions in single-vehicle, nighttime, and alcohol-related crashes. However, men continue to be involved more often in these types of crashes. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
