in my former profession... i used to be a driver,, i've seen a whole lot of things that should shock you. but... they wouldnt. the fact is, we've all seen and done stupid things while driving, but girls will stop at nothing to continue daily life in the car. putting on make up, talking on the phone, cutting across 3 lanes to exit.. to name a few.
whats so hard about putting driving first?

I agree. Putting on mascara while driving drives me crazy! Pun not intended. However, there are a few good women drivers. I will agree with you that the majority of women tend to be aggressive at their driving. I believe more women need to get to know men who know cars well and learn a few tips. Also, we cannot exclude the majority of teenage male drivers who like to show off by revving an automatic car just to show off. Most of them can't even drive manual. You eat up gas like mad when you rev an automatic. Or, when people slam on the gas as soon as the light is green in an automatic. That is just bad for the car. It isn't good in manuals either, but you don't do as much damage in a manual as in an automatic when you do that. To conclude, I agree that most women drivers are poor drivers.

Well... it appears you are both right and wrong...
First, the amount of accidents are evening out between genders.
Males seem to be more likely to die in a traffic accident, both as pedestrians and as drivers. This seems to be due to fact that males are more likely to drive while intoxicated, not to mention that men are classically more aggresive while driving.
Woman seem to be involved in more minor accidents; fender-benders and what not. This fact tends to be in line with the statements you made about the stupid things women potentially do while driving.
Bottom line: A male is more likely to kill you with his car, but a woman is more likely to rear end you or clip your vehicle while changing lanes or cut you off or piss you off by driving too slow or make you double-take because you can't believe they're driving while putting on mascara while you think, "That b**** is gonna kill someone..." (which come to find out is statisticallly false)
The fine print: Slow down, pay attention to the road, quit driving like a moron.

And men will...
talk on their mobile,
gog at the girl in the mini going by
rush a red light
rev up just to show off
overtake to save a millisecond...
Why are you so sexist...? Don't statistics show that women drivers are more careful? Don't insurance companies agree!?

the only reason you ought to use your vehicle horn is to alert somebody some threat on the line. vehicle horns are for emergencies purely. when I hear a vehicle horn, i seem to work out the place that's coming from using fact i'm instinctively finding for the place the emergency is and/or the twist of destiny approximately to happen. If I regarded and observed a guy honking at a female for no stable reason i may well be aggravated. the only time somebody has honked at me became into using fact my vehicle became into approximately to get rear-ended on the line!

"Girls" can drive. In fact, statistics prove that girls drive more safely than boys and insurance rates prove it. I have been to countries where women are not allowed to drive (Saudi Arabia); I encountered more accidents and crazy driving skills during my month's stay in the Middle East than I ever have in the United States.
Women who can talk on the phone, feed the baby, put on lipstick, and drive at the same time are simply multi-tasking. Life is busy you know.

You said it, because we are always putting on make-up.
Seriously though, women fail to have the same degree of spacial sense and motor skills as males. Males are better at reading maps or navigating through unknown areas. It is just one of those things that is different between the sexes.

I don't know - I'm not one of them. I suggest you ask THEM. That is, assuming you're able to distinguish between everyone and some people.
