Women Drivers
I laughed my head off. Sorry girls but it is factual and documented as you will see. Nothing personal.

Re: Women Drivers
Hahaha! SSSOOOOOOO TRUE! With VERY few exceptions, men are typically better drivers. For example, I have NEVER dated a woman who had the ability to drive a single one of the many cars I've owned. This is because I've only bought cars with manual transmissions. I must say, though, that Finland is the exception. I bet any woman there could out-drive the pants off of any guy here. Those people have to learn drifting in driver's ed!

Re: Women Drivers
Men are typically better to drive technically, but are more likely to drive like idiots. I guess it evens out somehow.

Re: Women Drivers
I see where you're coming from but a lot, if not all, of those are from Europe. If you toughen the test for women, what's next, Chinese? Nah, can't go there. I'd like to see it tightened on everyone, especially highway and winter driving courses. Those should be mandatory in Canada.

When I go "where did that come from?" he starts on a 5 minute rant on the subject and I was just laughing my head off. So, there is at least that perception in the general public, including some chinese.

Re: Women Drivers
I attribute it to men's greater spacial awareness deriving from their evolution as hunters. Women are great at shopping while men suck at it, how else could they find the ripest berries as gatherers?
One of my fav women driving vids although I think that greenish car in OP vid was the best.

Re: Women Drivers
Equality of the sexes is evening the playing field in that regard as well, from what I've seen around here. Originally Posted by sparks50

Re: Women Drivers
Alright, I will be the one to say it. I bet there are just as many idiot male drivers as female. Sure these look bad but at least the women are not trying high speed manouvers out side of thier, or their cars, capabilites - like many men do.
I also would venture a guess that the ratio of men to women who drive under the influnce would be weighted heavily with men?
So I will take a slightly daft women driver who can't parallel park over a male trying to drive "Fast and Furious" any day.
PS my wife is a damn good driver, she can drive stick, has great awarness and never had any accidents. Well one accident at very low speed (which falls in line with my theory I guess
)

Re: Women Drivers
Not true. They have to take a course in driving on slippery surfaces (like wintery conditions), and it's the same in Sweden where I live. But it's pretty basic. Just 'what to do' and stop/slow down/avoid stuff in emergencies when it's slippery. And even more to make people see how damned limited grip is and how doomed they probably are if they are just a little bit too fast for conditions. I recall every other person in my group were so miserable. Only I really succeeded in 'saving' the vehicle in the elk tests (due to my obsession with rally racing and sim racing). The rest would have had miserable brutal accidents. :S Originally Posted by War.mongeR1

Scientifically, women tend do do more more of the "The action performed was not the action intended" error, like pressing the wrong pedal or wrong gear if anything. Males do the "The action performed was intended, and retarded", which leads to death and destruction.

Re: Women Drivers
You can say it... but it wont be true. I've seen FAR too many accidents, speeders, and otherwise insanity caused by women drivers more so than men. I think men are definitely the most aggressive drivers on the road (which can cause problems). But, women seem to have issues with multitasking and applying driving skills to the roadway.

Now in regards to the video... how the F*** do you flip your car over going through an open gate entrance?!?!?! That blew me absolutely away. Then you have the lady crash into the bars that rose up after the bus... the rear end of the car almost landed on a baby stroller. :\
I'll add that the song is that video SUCKED. Can we not have a funny video without crap music. :P"They laugh at the law... but they don't laugh at me."

Re: Women Drivers
I've seen statistics for some euro countries, and they have more accidents that are like fender benders (while parking etc), but way way less with serious injury and death.Now if my wife see's this she'll probably smack me. But I've ragged on her about it for a while now. I bet if statistics were pulled of accidents that involved female and male drivers... then factored in who was at fault... that we'd be in for a surprise.

Re: Women Drivers
I'm sure insurance companies have done this and their rates reflect their findings. It's how they make so much money. So we probably wouldn't really be surprised. Originally Posted by Punisher
