Figure 2.9. Self-reported speeds in good weather and traffic conditions on main rural
roads with a speed limit of 80 km/h for female and male drivers per age group. Error
bars indicate +/- 1 standard error. Source: Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment.
Figure 2.9 shows that the average self-reported speed on main rural roads of
female drivers was lower than the average self-reported speed of male
drivers. For both young 18-19 year old female drivers and 18-19 year old
male drivers the self-reported average speed was lower than for 20-29 year
old drivers of the same gender. Female drivers in the 60-64 age group were
the first with an average speed under the legal limit. For the male drivers this
was the 70-74 age group. Figure 2.10 shows the same results as Figure 2.8
and Figure 2.9, but now for urban roads with a speed limit of 50 km/h.
