Women drivers are three times more likely than men to suffer whiplash injuries if their car is hit from behind, Swedish researchers say.
Women's risk is increased because they generally sit closer to the steering wheel, the Umea University team said having studied data on 400 injuries.
They said crash-test dummies should better reflect women's figures and help influence seat design.
But UK accident experts said there were already a range of dummies used.
