Are bad drivers women?

This is why I don't drive. NOw you cant say that I'm bad when I haven't even tried before! ^_^

Why Couldnt Hellen Keller Drive?












































































Because she was a woman.

:rofl:

Who is Hellen Keller?

And yes, I live under a rock.

She was deaf, dumb, and blind.

it's a tie... I've encountered an equal ratio of male to female drivers being terrible while on the road (myself included).

They're about average. The division comes between ages. Really knew to driving (generally teens) or so damn old they can't see and react to events around them are the two deadliest demographics I encounter on the road.

WAT?

What? I seriously dont have the slightest clue as to who she is.

They showed some dumb cartoon about Hellen Keller in elementary school and her imaginary friend was like a leprechaun or something...

She's the lead singer of the Dumb Blinds.

Oh...never heard of them. I guess thats a good thing 'cause people dont seem to like her.:crazy:

Men and women are equally bad drivers IMO. Men are more likely to drive fast whereas women are more likely to pay more attention to their cell phones or checking their makeup in the mirror rather than keeping their eyes on the road. In my state however, insurance is higher for younger males than it is for females of the same age and gawd forbid if a young guy has a red sportscar 'cause that just has "target" written all over it.

not really..

Women get cheaper car insurance as they crash less...


But who am I to judge?

they're good at driving men crazy.

I'll give you that. Most women are **** drivers to be honest, I was driving a 60mph straight FLAT road, and a woman in a mazda SPORT was doing like 25mph along it, her ass got overtook. Seriously though, 25 in a 60? What a twat.

Oh, God. The bad driving Asians stereotype. I can handle racial humor to far extents, but some reason, this one drives me up the fucking wall. I get shit on all the time by friends and well, by people I don't even know because I'm considered the double whammy of bad driving - Asian and female. That makes me want to take a shit.

Never heard of that stereotype before. :) So you'd only have to deal with one here :)

Statistically, women get in less accidents than men. I don't know if this is because, on average, men typically do a lot more driving and for longer periods of time... but all I know is that every time I pass a car going ridiculously slow on the highway and swerving all over, going off the road, or nearly hitting someone; it's a woman driving and she's on a cell phone, about 95 percent of the time.
To me, bad driving isn't just limited to whether you get in a car accident or not. Driving habits are a part of driving and just because bad driving habits haven't contributed to a violation or accident yet, doesn't mean you're a great driver. It just means you haven't had the chance to contribute to the statistics yet.

With that in mind, people constantly on their cell phone or doing makeup or other distracting things behind the wheel, regardless of gender, are bad drivers. I just usually see more women doing those things than men.

It's surprising that the statistics don't reflect that. Again, I wonder if it has something to do with the difference in amount of driving per gender.

The last time I heard anything about statistics in Norway, I heard women had a lot more accidents involved with driving in reverse, parking and so on. Men, particularly young men, are more often involved in high speed accidents.

Stuff like this makes me chuckle :



And there are lots of videos on youtube with women trying to park and failing, hehe. I'd post one, but generally they last a while so I'm not sure how appropriate they are as forum humour. ;)

i always thought it was an issue with aggression vs. safety. guys are generally more aggressive and competitive, and in some cases raised to see their car as an extension of their dingdongs. in turn more aggressive driving and accidents.

women try to be too safe and end up causing lots of potential accidents due to overcompensating. like the old ladies who drive no more than 70 on the highway (limit is 110) because they think they're being safer by moving significantly slower than the flow of traffic around them.

age definitely seems like big factor to me.


wow Tore's video is ridiculous hahaha wasn't expecting the recoil at the end :laughing:

Indeed. Those are all factors I'd assume, I just never see it reflected that way on the road. I know my driving route isn't the entire U.S. but it seems like there should be some kind of even spread if those factors are at play.

I drive 40 miles a day, 5 days a week on both freeways and congested city streets, and it's sort of a game I play to study the way people drive and try to guess their gender, age, and whether they're using a cellphone or not before I pass them...

I'm getting deadly accurate.

^ nice hehe (but scary)

my town is actually doing a big crackdown on driving at the moment. i can't count the amount of times i've had near misses in intersections or see absolute confusion at a 4-way stop and i'm normally a pedestrian in those situations. another big issue i see is the attitude that driving is a fundamental 'right' and not a privilege.

actually i've never even had a driver's license, i much prefer being the passenger just like the old Iggy Pop tune so my views on other drivers probably needs a bit of salt.

The biggest factor I assume to observe while I'm behind the wheel, is that most other drivers pay absolutely no attention to what is going on beyond the scope of their own vehicle.

I think it pays to be just as aware of your surroundings on the road as it does to be aware of what you're doing. I constantly try to anticipate what other drivers around me will or will not do, and constantly ensure I have an out should something occur. I always assume someone will fuck up. It racks your nerves. All the time. I've been doing it so long that it's second nature, but you can never get complacent when it comes to the unpredictable nature of other drivers. Because no matter how well you can drive, there's always someone who can wreck better.

agreed.

so long, as you said, it becomes second nature. i fear those who's primary function is worrying about what other people are doing because they're obviously safe drivers by not paying any direct attention to what they're actually doing due to non-stop wagging of their finger and going half the speed limit.

Yea, well the idea is to navigate defensively, and not just sit in a car behind the wheel and roll towards the shopping mall.

It's obviously bad if the only car you're not watching is the one behind the one in front of you, but even that would be an improvement compared to how some people drive.

This is EXACTLY what I think when I'm getting into a car. I'm getting into a giant penis.
:P

I do the exact same thing, it's something I picked up from my dad. When he was teaching me how to drive he use to drill the importance of being totally aware your surroundings. I will say that I have changed a few of my driving habits since my hydroplaning accident back in May, most notably is slowing down on freeway driving. I use to push 75-80 mph and a regular basis and now I rarely do more than 70.

wow really? most people I know bomb down the motorway at 100mph... not bragging in the slightest btw.

Samesies. I don't usually go THAT fast, but I did just get a ticket for going 17 over. So.
I hate slow drivers.
