Nowadays, when driving a car is a necessity, a striking research has been done on traffic accidents. Research by the Insurance Institute for Road Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has revealed a striking distinction between men and women. such that 71 percent of traffic accidents are caused by men. However, women compared to men 72 percent more injured. Mortality rate for women 17 percent more. So why?

Commenting on the research conducted in the USA Advanced Driving Techniques Specialist Mert İntepe, touched on the reasons for the higher rate of death and injury in women. Stating that the main reason for this issue is the manufacturers, İntepe said that there is male dominance in traffic and automotive manufacturers take this into consideration. automobile production by men he said he did.

“Don’t buy cars without testing”

According to Mert İntepe, who says that the physiological structure between men and women is also seen when buying a car, women buy a car. must do some tests needs. İntepe’s words on this point are as follows:

“When choosing a car as an end user, there are vehicles that female drivers can buy according to their height and weight ratios. There are even cars where they can test their safety equipment. There are vehicles where they can adjust their seat belts. It is necessary to research the car segments correctlyGet consultancy service. Do not buy the tool without trying it. Because when you wear the seat belt, it sometimes stays on your neck and can cut your neck in the simplest accident. Sometimes that car is not for you, then you will not buy that car. There can be height and weight problems between men and women. The seat of some cars can be adjusted up, down, forward and backward.

Those who say, ‘There is an airbag in my car, nothing will happen even if I have an accident’ die in traffic. Since men are a little taller, they come to their face when the airbag is deployed in accidents and acts as a pillow.” said Mert İntepe, explaining why the structure of the vehicle and the body structure should be compatible.

Speaking about another piece of equipment, the seat belt, which is as important as the airbag, Advanced Driving Techniques Specialist İntepe said, “If the belt is not used correctly, the distance to the airbags is not correct, the headrest does not stop where it should be, the distance to the steering wheel, the knees are not at the right angle, in the simplest accident. from 30 kilometers yes, they can die in every accident you get involved in.” he said. The official detailing this statement said, “The seat belt should touch your body, touching the end of your collarbone. The distance between your head and the headrest should not be more than 3 fingers, the belt does not touch your body while driving with a winter coat.
