Drivers of 4WDs more prone to accidents, states study

By Bonnie James

A Qatar-based study has revealed that 40.3% of drivers involved in accidents were driving four-wheel-drive vehicles.
The topic of the study was the impact of 4WD vehicles on risky driver behaviour and road traffic accidents.
The study, by Dr Abdulbari Bener (department of medical statistics & epidemiology, Hamad Medical Corporation) covered 1,110 Qatari drivers, including 263 women.
“As many as 80.5% of the drivers had an accident at least once in the last three years,” he told Gulf Times.
The results indicated that the 20-29-years old driver group had the highest proportion of accident involvement.
