Why are "soccer moms" always talking on their cell phones while driving in SUVs or minivans?

Question

It's sooo annoying!

Answer 1

gotta multi task

Answer 2

And it's also dangerous and most of them have trouble navagating their Navagators normally without the extra distraction of talking on the phone.

I've also noticed almost all of them look like that lady from "Over the Hedge" with varying hair color types - mostly blonde.

EDIT: I must address Lennox down at the bottom. Women drive much more often than men and fender benders are statistcally more likey to be where there is heavy traffic, which happens to be in town where most women drive. You can only have fatalities going at high rates of speed (usually the highway), which is what most men are doing, usually under the influence of drugs/alcohol or their egos which sometimes tells them that they are better drivers than women and therefore can't crash. Whoops. Don't blame men's stupidity on women. It just shows your inferiority complex.

Answer 3

Because, believe it or not, we don't "DO" nothing all day. We have alot of demands on our time and often in the car is a time when we are forced to sit. This is, therefore, a time when we can call all the ppl we need to...since we can't be physically doing things for other ppl. I can almost guarantee that the phone call the soccer mom is making is for or about someone else.

Lennox BE....you are stating your opinion. It is a proven fact that WOMEN drive more. Men may drive farther to work but then they stay there. I drive my kids to school/pick up. 3 kids to soccer/pick up. This does not include the grocery, dr. vet, dentist, to/from volunteer work....That is why women get in more fender benders, we spend more time in parking lots doing errands men are "too busy" for. Because they work, while we obviously stay home all day hangin' out with our buds!

Answer 4

Because women such at driving. Why would you even ask this? :)

Women get into more fender benders than men.
Men get into more fatal collisions.
An unintelligent person would assume this makes men worse drivers. WRONG. Men drive more. If theres husband and wife in the car, the husband will usually drive. So thats why men get into more fatal collisions, simply because we drive more. But women have no excuse for their huge ammount of fender benders type accidents. They put makeup on, do their hair, talk on the cell phone, and aren't as decisive as men on the road.
Also, i think its about 35% of crashes that males are involved in, are caused by a female.

Answer 5

I find that impatient honkers, cutter-offers, line-cutters tend to be soccer-mom types!

My state has a law against handheld cellphone usage - supposedly lots of people are getting caught for this, but I see so many people break this law, that I have to wonder if it really is being enforced.

Answer 6

I agree - I've been hit several times by fools on cell phones (sorry to say ALL women) - it should be made illeagle

Answer 7

Hmmmmmmmmmm. I see just as many men in big pickups talking on their cells as I do women. It is so annoying when they pull over in front of you without using their damn signal.

Answer 8

Practice times change often... Plus they have to figure out who is bringing the orange slices next game.


EDIT *** Cant forget the Capri Suns either!

Answer 9

because the soccer fields are always obscure little places that are hard to find and then when you do find them almost impossible to find someplace within a two block radius to park

Answer 10

the affliction is not limited to soccer moms in suv's...
