Females were not Smooth
Male drivers came out ahead in UNC test

UNC News Bureau .
No one really knows whether men or women
are the best drivers, but a recent study seems to
prove women do handle a car somewhat
differently than men.
Using 40 test drivers on a 20.1 mile interstate
course and an 8.7 mile heavy traffic course, a
UNC Highway Safety Research study
determined that women, in "everyday" driving
situations, made more speed changes as well as
lane changes and fine steering corrections than
their male counterparts.
Therefore, in terms of "smoothness" - speed
changes and steering adjustments men
performed better.
The study, "Age and Sex Factors in the
Control of Automobiles," was done by Stanley
M. Soliday of N.C. State University and John A.
Allen Jr. of the Highway Safety Research Center
in Chapel Hill.

participated. They were divided into four
groups, men and women over 30 and men and
women under 30."
All drove an instrumented car which
measured and recorded the following variables
on digital counters: total trip time; time car was
actually moving; miles traveled; speed changes;
lane changes or coarse steering wheel reversals
(each steering wheel movement of 12 degrees or
more followed by a reversal of the movement);
fine steering wheel reversals (two degree
movement or more and reversal); accelerator
reversals; and brake applications.
In addition to the recorded male-female
differences, it was determined that young
females made substantially more fine steering
reversals than did young males, but only slightly
more in comparison to the older men and
women.
Investigators Soliday and Allen found few
other differences due to the age variable.
They also noted that the sexual differences
observed may have, at least in part, reflected the
differential driving experiences of the male and
females used in the study. Overall, the males had
more years of driving experience than the
females.
An earlier study by Soliday and Allen
supported the notion that the type of highway a
person drives is an important variable in
determining how he controls his automobile.
The later age and sex factors study, an effort
to extend the earlier findings and to gather
baseline data for a driver license road-testing
program, was conducted as part of a project
titled Driver License Road Testing, contracted
with the N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles
and sponsored by the N.C. Governor's Highway
Safety Office.
