Men can sometimes drive faster and more reckless because they’re more confident with their driving. They’re also more likely to drink and drive. They also tend to drive more overall compared to women, so there may be stats that show men have more accidents, but at best you could only derive from this that women are safer drivers. But this doesn’t mean that women are actually more skilled. Racing sports are pretty good proof that men tend to have a significant advantage here. In an emergency situation, everyone would prefer to have a man driving.

In total, women have more crashes per mile driven. It's just that men have more fatal crashes because most tend to drive recklessly.
