长期以来，男性在机动车事故中一直处于领先地位。然而，来自多个国家的最新研究表明，女性正在缩小这一差距。女性遭遇车祸的相对增加与车祸风险的增加有关。但这仅仅是因为女性开车人数增多导致了这一增长吗？还是有其他中介因素？这项研究工作的主要目标是阐明这一争议。我们发现的证据表明，观察到的女性司机死亡人数的增加大部分是由于女性驾驶风险的平行增加，但某些女性司机群体（主要是未成年女性司机）比其他人更容易受到某些冒险行为的影响。驾驶行为 (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Men have long held the lead in motor-vehicle crashes. However, recent research from a variety of countries indicates that women are closing the gap. The relative increase in females involved in crashes has been associated with an increase in crash exposure. But is it simply that there are more women driving that is causing this increase? Or are there other mediating factors? The main goal of this research effort was to shed some light on this controversy. We found evidence that most of the observed increase in female drivers' fatalities was due to a parallel increase in female driving exposure but that some groups of female drivers (mainly underage female drivers) have become more vulnerable to some risk-taking than others. driving behaviors (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
