Women Better Drivers Than Men Study
A Study confirms the fact that women are better Drivers than men,I mean Driving vehicles.
Story:
Women are Better drivers,
The Answer Is …
In a study released by Quality Planning, an analytics company that validates policyholder information for auto insurers, women came out on top.
The study analyzed different kinds of vehicle code violations (traffic violations) and then compared how many times men were cited versus women. The conclusion was that men break more traffic laws and drive more dangerously than women. Because they violate laws designed to make the roads safer, men cause more accidents and expensive damage.
Who do you think are better drivers: Men or Women?
“We were not surprised to see that men have slightly more violations — about 5 percent — that result in accidents than women,” said Raj Bhat, president of Quality Planning. “And because men are also more likely to violate laws for speeding, passing and yielding, the resulting accidents caused by men lead to more expensive claims than those caused by women.”
Topping the list is the finding that men are cited for reckless driving 3.41 more times than women. Reckless driving is considered one of the most serious traffic offenses by courts since it implies a disregard for the rights and safety of people or property.

Violations for which men scored at least 50 percent higher than women:
| TYPE OF VIOLATION | RATIO M:F |
| Reckless driving | 3.41 |
| DUI | 3.09 |
| Seatbelt violations | 3.08 |
| Speeding | 1.75 |
| Failure to yield | 1.54 |
| Stop sign/signal violation | 1.53 |
Evidence Gets Worse.
Guys, when it rains it pours. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, more men than women die each year in motor vehicle crashes. “Men take more risks behind the wheel than women, and so men are more likely to get into serious crashes,” says Anne McCartt, the institute’s senior vice president of research. “We don’t have any way of comparing their driving abilities, but on the likelihood of getting into a serious crash in which someone dies, men win handily.”

Meet The Forest Boy, Photo
Forest Boy?
Sounds Fishy!
“BERLIN (AP) — Berlin police on Wednesday released photos an English-speaking teenage boy who wandered into the city nine months ago saying he had been living for the last five years in the forest with his father. Police spokesman Thomas Neuendorf said all attempts to identify the boy since he emerged in the German capital on Sept. 5 have been unsuccessful, and they are now hoping the release of his photo may produce some leads. “We have checked his DNA against all missing person reports, sent the data to Interpol so that they could check it internationally, but unfortunately without any success,” Neuendorf said. The boy has told authorities his father called him “Ray” and that he was born June 20, 1994, but claims not to know his last name or where he’s from. He said his mother, Doreen, died in a car accident when he was 12 and after that he and his father, Ryan, took to the forest. He said they wandered using maps and a compass, staying in tents or caves overnight. He told authorities that after his father died in August, 2011, he buried him in the forest and then walked five days north before ending up in Berlin, and showed up at city hall. Investigators have been unable to confirm any details about a fatal car accident that matches up with Ray’s story, however, and haven’t been able to find the body of the father — raising “serious doubts” about the story. “There are many question marks,” Neuendorf said. He is now being taken care of by youth services, and is going to school. When he first appeared, Ray spoke English and a few words of German, but has picked up more German fast, Neuendorf said. He has also quickly adapted to city life and technology, using a laptop and his cell phone with no problems.

Man Marries His Dead Girl Friend! Video.
Sympathize with him or call him immature?
“Thailand- In Thailand’s Surin province a man did something that sounds pretty sweet and also a little bit creepy. Chadil Deffy, also known as Deff Yingyuen, held a wedding ceremony with his dead girlfriend Sarinya “Anne” Kamsook at her funeral service. The couple had been together for 10 years.
Yingyuen and Anne had been discussing marriage for sometime before Anne died, but Yingyuen wanted to concentrate on getting his degree first while Anne wanted to concentrate on her career, the Thai-Asean News (TAN) Network reported.
Unfortunately, Anne was involved in a major car accident which took her life earlier this week.
According to the Pattaya Daily News, the couple met at Thailand’s Eastern Asia University more than 10 years ago and immediately fell in love. They had been planning to marry for many years before the tragedy. Wreaths were put up all over the school in remembrance of Anne.
Mobile Murders 43 Boys.
Talking on Cell phone while driving is very dangerous.
It was responsible for the death of 43 boys in Bangladesh.
Time people do not treat the Law on Mobile use seriously and think a minute of their loved ones and what if they are lose a limb or lapse into coma.
I know of the brother of my colleague who went into coma, because he did not notice a water tanker rushing towards him in Cnennai.He has to small children.
He was in coma for six years before he died.
The family went through hell.
‘
One of the most tragic incidents in our country’s recent history took place on July 11 when 43 school students were killed in a road accident at Mirsarai, Chittagong on their way home from a football match. We lost so many blooming buds of the nation that it’s almost comparable with the loss of valuable lives during the BDR mutiny.
It has been reported that the truck was driven by the helper instead of the driver and he was talking on the cell phone at the time of the incident. This is how Cell phones become killers. A criminal may kill one or two persons at a time with a gun, but this incident shows that a Cell phone can kill many at a time. So, time has come to take another look at the situation and be alert.’
