The authors concluded that, in all types of data, a conclusion was consistent: women pilots participated in approximately two - thirds of the accidents of bad gas pedal, even if men have a higher rate of representation (60%) in a car accident and truck overall. Other important outcomes:

-Driver inattention was most likely contributed, including the use of cell phones, away from the road to research, talk to the passengers and reach objects
-Higher driver age was strongly associated with errors than the precision of the movements of the right foot
-In one of the five accidents of gas pedal, the driver was surprised by the circumstances, and the effect of reactions of panic was worse among young drivers
-The majority of these accidents occur in parking lots, driveways and parking garages
