Women drivers are a growing demographic — according to Statista, 6.8% driving licences were issued to women in 2019 (latest data), of the total 206 million that year in India. Several reports also show that women are generally safer on the road than men (they tend to be more cautious and less likely to engage in risky driving behaviours). But despite being less likely to be involved in accidents, women drivers can still benefit from additional protection on the road.
