my husband always say women are bad drivers......?

Question

is there any proof that women are, or aren't? we had an arguement about it the other day. thank you : )

Answer 1

No proof what so ever. Stereotyping is all he is doing.
I have seen PLENTY of bad drivers and most of them are men. It just depends on the person. Not the sex of the person. Can't lump one group into it cause of a few bad apples.

Answer 2

This is a debate that's been on-going esp. in this forum...lol! I believe that women are actually better drivers. The proof is in the statistics...women have fewer accidents, and lower insurance premiums because of it, than men do. Now maybe there is some kind of evidence out there that could prove this claim to be biased in some way, and if there is, I'll concede...but you'd have to show it to me first. One guy from this forum told me (recently, too) that men are "better drivers" because they are more aggressive drivers, and willing to take more risks on the road...lol! I hardly think that qualifies as proof of "better driving." Women seem to be safer drivers...and it's saving us money, and lives.

Answer 3

Well i'm on your side. I got a car last year when i was 13 ( it's really shitty, it was just something to drive to the bus stop and such) but the day i got it was the first time i ever drove a car and my dad and everyone else that saw me said i drive like i've divin for years and mmm i'm a girl. So maybe some women are bad drivers but there are most likely women drivers that are pretty kick ***.

Answer 4

YOur husband is right.

Stats indicate women get into more fender benders. Stats also indicate men get into more fatal accidents. Dumbasses think this makes men worse drivers. WRONG because at any given time there is way more men on the road than women, that is why men get into more fatal accidents. Simply because they drive more. If husban and wife are in car, more likely the man will drive.

Women have no excuse for getting into more fender benders. They do makeup, hair, cellphone more, etc...

Also, some stats show almost 25% of crashes males are involved in are caused by a female.

Answer 5

Males under the age of 25 are the demographic most likely to be involved in an accident; speed and drinking are commonly involved factors.
Women drive far less agressively than men and are therefore less likely not only to lose control of a vehicle, but experience (or cause) road rage as well. However, I do have concern over the propensity of younger female drivers to talk on their cellphones while they're driving (more so than males). Hang up and get back to them, already.

Answer 6

There is TONS of indisputable, empirical evidence (mostly collected by insurance companies) that say

- men cause the majority of accidents
- men cause the deadliest accidents

This data has been collected since the 1970's. The whole world over, the evidence is the same (culture not a factor because this phenomena is cross-cultural).

Answer 7

Generally , women are bad drivers

Answer 8

Men are more aggressive than women when they drive sports cars and light trucks (S-10, Pick-up, Ram, Ranger, F-150, Silverado, Dakota, etc.); women are more aggressive than men when they drive SUVs and luxury cars. For economy and family cars, it depends on the specific behavior.

Answer 9

i heard on the news once that females were safer drivers because they were calmer and less likely to be involved in road rage (Although some women do get cranky sometimes). Men are most likely to speed and get involved with road rage because of trying to let out testosterone.
WOMEN ARE ALWAYS BETTER DRIVERS : )

Answer 10

PEOPLE: Here is why-

The Eyes have the fault.

Females EYES can differ more efficiently and far better than men,..COLORS. women see more shades of colors than men, that's why you girls don't like asking men about clothes color. I'm i right?. men don't see colors as well as you girls.-

while Male EYES distinguish far more better MOVEMENT than women. that means we are more perceptive to movement like all the movement involved when driving, men detect movement faster than women do. and better.

that's why women drive different. sometimes they don't perceive movement so well and end up in collisions, but most of times are low speed collisions, that's why insurances price higher to males.
