Are Women Better Drivers?

[Sophie]

I got the idea from Mr Cookie's topic in backstage about why women shouldn't drive. I was about to make a reply to Maybe in that thread, then I thought, might as well start a thread in Serious Debate, and I never remember having this debate whilst i've been here [I may be mistaken though].

So, are women better drivers?

Well, these statistics show this:
- Male drivers commit 88 per cent of all driving offences (source: Government)
- Male drivers are involved in 97 per cent of dangerous driving cases (source: Government)
- Of all road accidents, fewer than 35 per cent were caused by women.

Don't ask me what website I got it from, I looked few a lot and I don't remember now. All I know is that is for the UK. Maybe already stated the U.S. in the backstage topic, I think it was 65% of women [correct me if i'm wrong].

Point is, UK shows that male drivers have more accidents. However, I guess I gotta see both sides of the argument, & say that women drivers may have more minor accidents, but men have more dangerous ones, which shows that they must be the worst drivers, right? It's also a known fact that 16-21 year old boys have a lot of accidents.

So, what do you think? I know guys are gonna say women are the worst drivers, it's obvious, but at least have something to back up your statement. I don't know what girls are gonna say, I know some girls who say we're the worst drivers.

Why can't Helen Keller drive?
















...Because she's a woman .

But seriously, although I can understand why some stereotypes make sense, this one doesn't at all. I think both men and women can be equally bad/good drivers on a daily basis. Maybe this stereotype was created because there are only male race car drivers (like Nascar), but that doesn't imply female drivers are worse. I can see also why male drivers get in more/worse accidents because I think males get angrier/road rage easier.

It's probably because these women are going like 50 mph on the highway and the men are trying to get around them and the women swerve...

don't even try to argue, women suck at driving with the exception of a very few.

[Sophie]

No.

Great argument.

[Mr. Cookie]

my personal opinion is that women never ever should drive a car...god knows how many times some woman almost crashed into me...once I almost got hit by a car while I was walkin' home from school, and the driver took a turn that wasn't allowed, I was only inches away from gettin' hit by the female driver...and I also agree that some men shouldn't drive either...but I agree that some men are more agressiv drivers, and that's a problem...they put other people's life in danger...but so does women, drivin' slow and carefully as fuck so they won't crash, but what they don't realize is that by drivin' slow, like on a highway, they put other drivers in danger...and men drive too fast and doin' stupid shit, they also put other drivers in danger...but the women are the worst...

my opinion...

[Tash8]

UK has more alcohol related accidents than anywhere else in the world, which is a cause for 90% percent of the statistics you listed. All that tells us is that women drink less.

That's too bad... haha

and I think it should be mandatory to drive High, cause i drive soo well when i'm baked.

Here in the US women cause 60%-65% of ALL accidents, so the proof is in the numbers.

[Xray]

No.

[bom-bom]

YES!!!!!!
im not able to drive yet but i can say that here most of the accidents are caused by men who drives when they are drunk
and i can tell you that i have girl friends who would never drive when they are drunk and most of my boy friends do it, men are less responsible

I think I'm the only guy here who didn't say no. Maybe it's cuz I'm asian so I'm more lenient on driving abilities...lol .
