worrying traffic safety for women

The Mobility Report 2021 illuminates an alarming aspect of traffic safety, which shows that women are significantly more at risk in car accidents. The likelihood that women are seriously injured or even fatally injured in an accident is 47 percent, or 17 percent higher than in male drivers. This inequality is due to the male-oriented design of crash test dummies, which do not reflect the anatomical differences between the sexes. This was highlighted in an article on dailySpiegel.de . In addition, women report how dangerous it is to move in urban rooms, especially at night. A lack of lighting and a problematic traffic design do many women to change their ways and habits to escape harassment and dangers.
