poll finds men fall asleep more often than women while driving

**outdoors** · 10th-July-2012

One-third of Ontario fathers surveyed admit to dozing off behind the wheel.
Angus Reid polled 1,003 parents online from June 19-23 and found that 30 per cent of men who take family road trips have nodded off behind the wheel, compared with 14 per cent of women.
According to the poll, nearly one-quarter of men have swerved because they were tired, and almost one-third said they worried about getting their family into an accident because they were tired while driving.

Men leave a woman who has children, he is demonized.

When will the misandry of society end?

Um, something to do with men being the ones to drive the longest journeys, no? I wish it could some day be a CHALLENGE, to see through the bullshit....

Maybe it has something to do with more men doing harder work than women.

The context of this is important. One third of men admit. It goes on to say that 14% of women also admit. But how often do women as a whole admit their faults? In my experience, a lot less than men.

The context also references that they're talking only of family trips out... It discusses one such journey being a two-day event, just to get from A to B alone.

Now, given that in USA trips from one state to another can take several hours and even stretch into days, I'm not surprised men or women are nodding off.
