Chinese female drivers more law-abiding than men
Drivers with six to ten years of driving experience are less prone to break traffic rules.
Among drivers holding 10-year driving licence in China, women have less traffic offences than men, the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) said in a report on Wednesday, China's Xinhua news agency reported.
In China, drivers must renew their driving licences after six years. Those with better disciplinary records can then apply for ten-year licences.
Drivers with six to ten years of driving experience are less prone to break traffic rules.
A total of 179 million licensed drivers in China have 10-year driving licences, around 96.9 per cent of drivers with more than six years of experience.
As the number of licensed drivers has increased, traffic accidents and deaths have dropped by 58.8 and 40.9 per cent from 2004 to 2016 respectively, the MPS report showed.
