"Believing that they are far better drivers that women are,


"Believing that they are far better drivers that women are, men consider women drivers incompetence, inattentive, and even dangerous behind the wheel."


Is the first sentence correctly reduced to the second one?


"Because men believe that they are far better drivers that women are, they consider women drivers incompetence, inattentive, and even dangerous behind the wheel."
