Driving accidents in Israel are not a joke. Though most people would claim that women drivers are the worst, the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics released a report that would definitely refute that claim (source: JPost).
In the last year, there were 92,000 accidents in Israel. Of those, 73,000 resulted in injury to someone.
74% of the drivers in which injuries were involved were... men.
Arabs (who make up 21% of the population) were involved in 26% of the accidents, and were 35% of those killed in car accidents.
68% of pedestrians killed, were killed crossing at a crosswalk.
Arabs tailgate more than Jews, while Jews are more likely to not give right of way.
Arabs speed more, while Jews tend to run more stop signs.
Overall, not very good statistics, but perhaps it would give those in charge an idea of what they need to work on to make our streets safer.
