      After the former Tata Sons chairman Cyrus Mistry’s fatal accident reveale that Anahita Pandole, a top Mumbai-based gynaecologist, was driving the Mercedes GLC when the accident happen.

      Anahita and her husband Darius Pandole were severely injure, Cyrus Mistry and her brother-in-law Jehangir Pandole died on the spot while returning from Gujarat’s Udwada to Mumbai.

      After initial investigation suggests that the car crash could have cause by over-speeding and the “error of judgement” by the driver.

      As the news spread, social media users start using this to run a hate campaign against female drivers.

      Twitter is litter with comments like :

      • “women drivers are dangerous”,
      • “I hate women drivers”,
      • “these ladies can never drive properly”,
      • “I’m scared of a lady driver”, and so on.

      Contrary to the stereotype that women can’t drive well, many studies suggest that women, in fact, are safer drivers than men.

      Register vehicle impacts like hitting potholes, kerbs, or other vehicles by women customers represent 1.3% of the total number of Netstar’s female customer base during the period measure, compare to 1.4% for men.

      Regarding harsh braking, register incidents represent 16.9% of female drivers and 22.8% of males.

      The numbers for harsh acceleration are 4.5% for women and 10% for men.

      For harsh cornering, the proportions are 13.2% for women vs 18.8% for men.
