Ah thank you for blatant sexism. If women are such bad drivers, why are their insurance rates lower (Which is directly related to the fact they have less accidents?)

Its amazing how they still have a safer "driving record" and lower insurance bills.
I think it's because the lack of driving skill is overcompensated by timid driving.
I don't hate women any more than I hate men, but it pisses me off how timid they are behind the wheel, yet still manage to do areal flips with their cars.

i have crashed a car, i spun my civic on a wet road. I admit we young men take too many risks and overestimate our skill. (if you say that does that make you sexist?) no harm intended, i will be neutral. but lets not nit pick.

Out of the group of say, 10 guys and four gals in our small little group we have, (been friends for over six or seven years) six of the guys have either written off, crashed or have been involved in a car accident, whereas none of the girls have. Even on radio, one man was served by a women after some sexist comments about "thier" driving ability. Driving stereotypes in relation to sex is probably, in my eyes, alot less noticeable in society today. At least where I am, no not in in the pantry, in Australia - but hey, might be a different story elsewhere.

Just came to memory, the same radio program highlighed, in Western Australia, road casualties and accidents caused by women were significantly less than those caused by men, ill see if I can dig up these figures, and I know for certain it linked in with the cheaper insurance rates etc. etc.

Where the stereotypes arrive? Our impatience in car parks, perhaps pressure when we are in the passenger seats and our lady friend is in the driver seat? A bit from column A and a bit from column B.

I'm sure if you'll dig deeper you'll find photos of what happens when men drive as well...

Guys usually take more risks... and when they try something and that works well, they want to try something more... and more... and more... I guess...

But I have to say, some people who drives "too" careful, or think that they're the only one on the road could be a "danger" as well... To be true, most of
the ones I have seen have been women, but there are some men out there too! :p

It really annoys me when women likes to drive slow, hog up the road and end up doing stupid things like that…I found the blond with the 350Z hilarious.

timid driving is much more diffrent than good driving, women tend to be good drivers since they do not tend to drive agressively.

hmm.... my mother has owned a used Integra for 2-3 years, but we've already replaced most of the front clip after a fender-bender in the rain when some guy braked in front of her.

Poor tree-fiddy. :(

What was she thinking, driving in those heels to start with!?!

Bearing in mind it's illegal to drive with your hands disabled by a mobile phone, or food or a drink, i find it somewhat laughable that it's okay to drive in shoes like that.

Women aren't aggressive drivers? You obviously haven't been in an underground car park, forced into a duel for the one parking spot left..

On all four occasions i've lost, i know, i don't do the male sex any justice, sorry blokes :D

sure we men get into more accidents-as in quantity. but a lot of accidents that involve women are just way stupider than the crash situations our reckless driving puts us in.
now this story ,i don´t know if it qualifies as ownage but

my g/f reversed into my car, destroyed the radiator, the grille , the front fascia and the bonnet with her cr-v´s spare tire (you know, it has it on the back)

nothing happened to her car. and it all happened because she was parking and there was a speed bump in her way, stomped on the throttle instead of the brake.

ive been getting laid more vigorously ever since.

my mother tends to make exscuses for her bad driving. Like when she reversed into a pole at the bank it was because she was stressed because my little brother hadn't wanted to go out. One of the funniest things I've heard was the sound of my mom backing into a pole *CRUNCH* followed by "CHRISTOPHER!!!!" (my little brother sitting in the back seat) I am in no way a perfect driver, I have 14 of 15 points on my license but she has 5 insurance claim accidents since I started driving and I have none.
