women really can't drive Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

just got back from a trip in which women drive. .

First of all they seem to not understand the danger of oncoming traffic. They seem to not understand how badly a head on collision will hurt. Secondly they often drive with only one finger touching the steering wheel. they seem to not understand how easily a vehicle will lose control like that. And thirdly they do not understand general physics especially that of SUV's.

Why is it women can't drive?

Statistically, women have fewer accidents than men.

That said, I hate being in the passenger seat when my wife drives.

Put an end to popups!

It makes little sense that women have less accidents.

I think the reason for that is that even though women are worse drivers, there are a small number of stupid men who get in repeated accidents over their lifetime skewing the numbers.

You've seen these types. They are usually rednecks driving pickups or 70's trans ams. Fiddling with their radio and drinking budweiser or busch beer at the same time.

To quote Norm MacDonald (or at least paraphrase)

A recent study shows that 70% of all serious accidents are caused by men, while 59% of all fender-benders are caused by women. One should note, however, that the numbers in this survey don't add up to 100% because the math was done by a woman... ah come on, a woman wrote that joke... well now you guys don't know what the hell to think... nah, I'm just kidding. We don't hire women.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

There is a series on UK television called "Britain's worst driver". They started with eight contestants, four men and four women. The first three to improve enough to get off the show were all men. Then a woman managed to get out. Then another woman quit (after her father walked out once he realised she wasn't going to win the prize car). So we are left with two women and one man. He is a pensioner and a totally out of control menace on the roads. The two women are also dangerously poor drivers. If you haven't seen this programme, you haven't seen bad driving.

IIRC a woman "won" the series last year.


Edited because I can't count.

rah, you posted all my favourite women driver pictures in the same thread! You are great.

Well, I guess the problem with the studies are, that I think men drive more(?) and when they do, they usually drive faster and often brake the traffic rules. Yes, braking the traffic rules does not make men superior drivers, but if we are talking about pure handling skills of the vehicle, in the safe mode and in the speeding mode, I think men will have better results. THat's just me though.

As far as I've read, studies find that women are involved in more accidents, BUT men are involved in more deadly accidents. This seems to make sense given their driving styles.

If you take the under 25s out of the mens column, I'm sure women would have many more accidents. That said, this isn't doing my sexist image any good so I think I'll go do the ironing and then some perhaps dusting.

Yes, Diss, men do their fair share also.

On the safety records and insurance premium, I think a lot of it is, (as pointed out) that men on the average drive considerably more miles. So even if they have a lower percentage of accidents per mile, they still have more accidents.
