Men learn to drive faster
Fri, 30 Jul 04
Women may be able to save on car insurance premiums but it costs them more to learn to drive.
Research by the AA found that women require up to 16 hours more tuition than men.
Linda Hatswell of AA driving school says: "Statistically, men have the edge when it comes to the number of tests they take before they pass - although the difference between the sexes among 17-year-old learners is marginal, men are roughly 10 per cent more likely to pass between the age of 18 and 24. This is no bad thing, of course, as women are also proven to be safer drivers in the long run.
"Generally, men are more technically minded and tend to pick up the practical skills more easily. Women, on the other hand, often interpret what they are taught and develop their own technique when putting it into practice, which may take a little more time."
