The gender most likely to die as a passenger in a vehicle.

In many parts of the world, men are still the dominant drivers with women as passenger, so when men drive recklessly and crash, the women in their lives are often killed or injured to. In France there is an organization called the “Women’s Manifesto for Safer Roads”, the idea behind it is to speak out against bad male driving to make both genders safer.
