Young female drivers improve more than males after ‘feedback’

A new study showed young women motorists had improved their skills more than male counterparts after receiving computerised feedback about their driving techniques.

The research, conducted by engineers at Trinity College Dublin, was carried out using what was described as the latest ‘black box’ technology.

The motorists, all aged between 17 and 22 and based north and south of the border, had their driving assessed over a four-month period.
