If a particular person(female or male) is accident free then that will be already reflected in any no claims bonus.
The reasons why men have more and bigger accidents is irrelevant. The fact is, they have more and bigger accidents. They are a bigger insurance risk and an insurer ought to be able to factor that in to any premium.
