According to the insurance industry, they don't.

Huh? <
Perhaps its how we are programmed...I believe men and women are different. I believe some women can ride/race the same or even better than some men. Maybe one factor is responsiblity. I don't mean women *being* more responsible, but rather they don't take unnecessary risks because of the responsibilites they have. Example, myself...I am a little more careful than I would have been 2 yrs ago because I have many more responsibilites and don't want to get killed and leave unfinished business for my parents to take care of. If I had children, I think I would take even less risks. Thats just my own opinion from my perspective.
Women Do Not Suck @ Driving.

although most women are good drivers, they tend to lead with their emotions, and the result is that they are not Consistent drivers. Whereas a man would be a sucky driver all the time until he becomes Responsible, and thereafter...oh, what am I saying? The more experience you have, the better you are. If you haven't been behind the wheel for a while, then you will probably suck. But I know what you mean. I tend to be cut off and tail-gated by women more than men, but men will "Kinda" come to a stop at a stop sign, and if you aren't fast enough, they take the "left-of-way". both sexes are guilty of traffic violations, but I would say inexperienced drivers are guilty of traffic accidents.

What statistics say is that men have more “registered” accidents(just a little more than women), the statistics do not say that men drive worse(handle, maneuver the car). Men drive much better, why they have more accidents, many reasons but no time to explain now.
But I will take time to say that forcing men to pay more for car insurance is wrong, and is just one of many double standards against men. If that is allowed than why don’t we go see if black people have more accidents than white people, or if Jews have more accidents than Christians; when important issues and values like that are involved we can not make that kind of discrimination, especially when the difference of “registered” accidents between the genders is so little. Something tells me(experience from other double standards) that if women start to have more accidents than men, NEVER EVER will women pay more for insurance because it would be considered sex discrimination and unconstitutional.

They just suck at driving a different way than guys do!
Moms are forced to multi-task, so it just carries over. Heaven forbid we get ONE 5-min period of the day when we don't have to think about 9 different obligations, appointments, our appearance, bills, dinner, yada yada yada.
Does anyone's....wait, that's for another question.

All the women I know are excellent drivers. Unlike their male counterparts, my female driving friends do NOT play car tag, tailgate or cut off people out of road rage, drink (alcohol) and drive or speed. If that means they/we suck, well, I wish more people did!

The lower levels of testosterone a person was exposed to during the nine months of birth will make their hand eye coordination worse
However, women that have been exposed to higher levels of testosterone are better at hand eye coordination then men that were exposed to lower levels ... it depends on the levels of testosterone you were exposed while being born
NOT HOW MUCH TESTOSTERONE YOU PRODUCE NOW!

Most women are good drivers......until a guy friend or husband enters the car.

I won't say all woman are bad drivers. They are just being cautious unlike men who don't know that they are reckless. I dare say I'm quite a good driver. But, shame to say that I lost twice to ladies in two illegal car race.

They don't. All you have to do is compare male and female insurance rates. A recent study showed that most of the people who run red lights are males between the ages of 40 and 70.
