Re: Women are best

Before I would accept these statistics, I'd like to see it worked out as how many accidents/fines by the distance travelled.

I don't know the facts but maybe the stats reflect the amount of time each is on the road & the miles they travel.

I submit that the information posted doesn't in any sense identify which sex are the "best drivers" but rather highlights which are the more conforming drivers and the safer drivers.

Regardless the fact remains that 90% of the instances where there is an undesirable event whist I am driving, the cause is a female driver. Either driving too slow, not positioning the car correctly in the lane, not positioning the care correctly when waiting to turn right, not being in the right lane on a roundabout, not indicating and generally oblivious to the cars and other people around them.

Sure, there are tons of men driving at speed, racing with each other, tail gating and so on but let's be brutally honest, they very much CAN handle a car and are very aware of who and what is around them.


For heaven's sake Realist, be careful, don't have a laugh - your face might fall off.

Re: Women are best

You men can dispute all the statistics all you want, but you can't alter them. It's FACT, and you fellas know it.

All us ladies know full well that it's the men who race, tail gate, jump lights, and are far more aggressive than us genteel, courteous ladies are.

How many women do you see leaping out of their cars to threaten another driver in a fit of road rage ey? Come on, how many?

Face up to it gentlemen, you lose.
Now then, dig up your wallets, buy us a round of drinks and we'll say no more about it.

Re: Women are best

I must agree.
Marge is a better driver than I am.

Time was that she was afraid of driving on the motorway and I was the one to do that daily task. However, as time went on she gained much more confidence.

Today, in my opinion she is a better driver than I am. Of course, I don't drive much these days, so it stands to reason that she has more recent experience.

I don't mind though. I trust her with my life and, to be honest, it's much easier sitting in the passenger seat navigating.

Re: Women are best

I think women drivers are great. Great when us men get drunk and they drive us home.
