New research into the trends and causes associated with road deaths has found seven out of 10 fatalities on the roads are men.
Experts said this was because men are more likely to be aggressive and take risks on the roads, but add more men drive than women, with eighty five per cent of workers in road freight transport are men.
But avoiding the driver's’ seat doesn’t necessarily mean you’re safe, with passengers, pedestrians and cyclists accounting for forty three percent of deaths.
