Who are better drivers, women, or men?

fire4511

Seeing as each person is an individual, you can not make a blanket statement, but as a male, I feel more comfortable with men driving than I do riding with a woman.

I drive quite a few miles a year (40-60k) and i see more women doing stupid things than men. This does not mean that I do not see men doing stupid stuff too, but as a rule, my opinion is men are better drivers!

How to get an independent adviser- Go to a race track w/your husband and each of you take a turn on the track in a real race car. It's expensive, but if you take a stop watch you'll get your answer. Make sure you both drive the same car so there aren't any excuses. It'll be fun, and give bragging rights. If you win he'll shut up. But if he's faster you'll never hear the end of it. As for who's better, men or women? I'll stay clear of that one. Good Luck!!

men !
women a crap at driving.
that mirror in the middle of the windscreen isnt for putting make up on.
why do they sit 2 inches from the steering wheel ???
plus they cant go for more than an hour without stopping for a slash.

I think in general women have more accidents, but they tend to be minor. I think men, when they do have accidents, they tend to be more destructive both in terms of bodily and car damage.

Good driving is not a gender related issue. I have spent the last 30 some years as a truck driving instructor and I have seen good and bad in both genders.

It all comes down to the individual, regardless of how they are plumbed. I have had men who could back up a tractor/trailer like they were born in one and others who could find the door with written instructions.

Once I got most women past the "size" of the truck, they were more conscientious, easier on the equipment and didn't second guess my instruction. Men usually have a preconceived idea about what make a vehicle "tick". Women do not. It is harder to break habits in men than it is in women... but good or bad, their gender usually doesn't come into play.

My wife of 25 years and I drove team on a truck for 2 years. I trained her because if I was the one to sleep behind her, I wanted to know that she knew what to do, if necessary. She is an excellent driver, but then again, so am I. :-} With us, it's not a competition, but an appreciation for each others skill.

I hope this helps... and good luck... your situation sounds more like an ego thing than skill based.

well women of course, we can multitask therefore we can apply make up, chance CD, smoke a cig and txt on our phone while driving!!!!

Why do insurance companys charge more for men than women because they know women are more safer drivers than men.

That's easy, men are. (It's a sweeping generalisation of course, but as a generalisation it's true.)

The reason men have more accidents is that they're swerving out of the way of the crazy women.

I`d just like to make two points:

1) Insurance companies charge a lower premium for lady drivers than they do for gentlemen drivers. Draw your own conclusions.

2) If you really want to improve the standard of your driving, then take the advanced driving test, and stick to the aims of the Institute of Advanced Motorists if and when you pass it.

In general men are better drivers. They cover more miles without accidents. Women tend to have minor accidents which show an element of carelessness or poor spatial awareness. My wife taught me to drive and still criticises my driving after 30 years.

Men, hands down! For the women and other delicate souls out there, that, roughly translates to, "Yes, i think men are the better drivers of motor vehicles"!

i think over all that women r the better drivers as they r often calmer in stressful situations (eg rush hr, traffic jam) and take more time over everything, this does not make us slow, safe. although men have better spacial awareness and r usually better at parking etc, women can often acheive the same standard after practice as i have done.
i too find reverse parking easier than forward lol

Hold my paw please

Women may not be better drivers but it is a fact that alot more deaths on the roads are caused by men than women so that means that they may not be "better" as in driving and handling a car the way men do, but they are definately far safer and responsible drivers for sure!! thats why it is cheaper to insure women

hay hunni there are no god drivers out there iam a advance driver and i work for the highways agencey on the road traffic unit i responed to all the road traffic accidents and i have seen some bad accidents by men and women and young drivers when i was trainen as a advanced driver are driven instructure use to say to us that we had to think that all the drivers on the road are a bunch of idiots cos they use to pull out on us when we are driven at speed to road traffic accidents so there is no such thing as good drivers it could be another road user which could course the rta or you if you stop consitrating i have got a clean licence to and i have a hgv class one aswell but at the end of the day the other road users you have to keep an eye on cos they pull some good stunts on our roads to day

i guess women, because a teenage girls car insurance is lower than a teenage boy, and most of the time the girls are the ones on the frickin phone!

My Fiance thinks that he is a better driver too but He's not .... Its a man thing .. Im safer then him .. When he's going fast on a back road he's all over the road and if im driving down the same road ... at speeds higher then he did ... Im not all over the road and ummm i dont use my brakes as much as he does .. And one day we decided to test out who could drive better at higher speeds ... He was driving a Ford Focus 2007 and i was driving my Neon 2001 and i beat him by 20 mins ... hahaha... that was great ...

How many women are in the Formula one race tonight?

Men know they're good.Women think they are!Thats were they make their mistake!

brianna6349

well, I can't drive but i say it depends on WHO the person is driving!!!

THERE are many different answers

Both are,
women have a little more difficulty and less ability to drive as much as men they have a natural talent (not chinese men)

I'm just being honest, not racist. i'm just speaking the truth ! No one needs to get insulted

Personally, i think females just need more practice to get at a males level in driving, i'm not saying ALL females are not as good
as a matter of fact, their can be any who are really good but theirs just so many that are really bad and only know the basics in driving, or worse.

forktail_devil

actually........NEITHER of u are a good driver when u add a cell phone in the mix. and of the 2, i have to dodge women and cell phones alot more. and btw....speed kills.

fern r

i know women are better, drivers for sure to me women beat men by for far, because men are rude and naughty and donot aply the road safety rule at all times.
