Are women drivers better than men drivers?

My fiancee claims the reason is that guys tend to drive them everywhere so they have less experience. In her case, that's actually true, but I see so many (not all) women own their own cars and go out shopping on their own... and they are extra "careful" when driving... I don't recall the last time I saw a man drive that way. Sad but true.
 
i was suprised to hear last summer from a friend than 16-25 yr old FEMALE drivers are the worst insurance bracket in NY at least. Funny, I always thought I was screwed cuz I was a guy. So I guess they are worse drivers.
 
I think women are less likely to engage in reckless behavior than men behind the wheel. That said I would not put much stock in basing judgements on driving ability by the number of traffic offenses committed like that British study does. I don't know any guy that could walk away from a stop for 80 in a 45 zone by saying "he had to pee". My wife got away with that little jewel without even a warning piece of paper.

In NA at least per mile driven women get in more accidents once you get past the teenage bracket, but then teenagers shouldn't be driving anyway.

Sounds alright to me, since I'm not a teenager anymore. In fact, I propose banning old people from the roads as well. And women. And everyone who's not me. Maybe then I could make some decent time driving. 😀
 
^ sure if you don't mind paying for all the taxes that go into road construction and maintenance too... 😀

Doh!

I'll just go bankrupt instead. Thats the ticket!
 
From what I've observed, a lot of women are not aware of what's going on around them. They just concentrate on what's in front of them.

I've seen many many women (and men), slowly drift into another lane (changing lanes) while not using a turn signal and not paying attention to what's behind them.
 
Women aren't as bad as old people. There definitely needs to be a strong age law that prevents old senile people from driving
 
Men are better drivers than women for the following reasons:

1) Women are more nervous drivers, and if you are not confident on the road, you are more prone to get into an accident.

2) Women dont follow the unwritten laws of the road. Like....if your gonna do the speed limit, do so in the far right lane. And remember to turn your signal off after you have turned.

I'd ban all teenagers. All people over 60 who have not passed a bi-annual exam (a stringent one - all exams should be more stringent, in fact), and also require everybody currently licensed to submit to a new exam over if they want to keep their license.

Anybody who drives under the speed limit would lose their license. Tailgaters would automatically lose it. People who actually stop at a 4 way stop when others are not there would also lose theirs, and people who don't go right on a red would lose it.
