I voted that maybe men are, because if it's based on confidence in driving, I think it's yes then. But women statistically get in fewer accidents than men, so that's also a counterpoint. Men are innately more likely to take risks, but perhaps women are also more likely to be overly cautious. In other words, I'd say men tend to be slightly better, because men usually drive more, and experience is the best factor.
Men are more aware of their sensory environment where as women tend to be a little ditsier and live in their heads and there is actual data I’ve seen to show this so men have a natural advantage there but I think men are more reckless drivers and are more likely to speed and not follow traffic laws so I think men are actually more likely to be in a fatal car accident but women are more likely to be in a fender bender
If you talk about roads with many obstacles, narrow roads, bumpy, rocky roads, long drives/highways, defensive driving, perfect parking, men are better at handling those than women but if you talk about following the rules, then women are less likely to disobey it.
So if you talk about "better at driving" it would be men but "better at following rules" would be women.
on average men will be slightly better due to men on average having better spacial/depth perception. Of course this is an average not every person, and well if you have bad vision or don't pay attention this won't help you. Conversely women have better fine dexterity and will on average be better at fine detail work such as watchmaking, but again there are other factors at play so there could be a great male watchmaker as well
Possibly, yes, no, maybe. Not really a question that will get anything more than opinions, and we know what they are worth. I mean I've seen, ride with, and drove around good and bad of both so flip a coin and whichever side it lands on is right
There are bad drivers that are male and female lol gender has nothing to do with it. But statistically men do get into more accidents than women. As a female I suck at parking but my driving is good I think
I don’t know why you sound offended though… also you could easily google more articles about this if you’re interested. And like I said, gender doesn’t have anything to do with a lot of things, but research has shown the difference is all.
The Person (man or woman) is a defensive driver and they are smart and practical when it comes to driving; because they know they have to make the road safer for themselves and everyone else; in order to get to their destination.
It's a skill that's not even 100 years old. Give it (longest) another 100 years, and it will be irrelevant. I would say that women are consistently good average; where among men you find more representation of both extreme ends?
I think that more men enjoy driving than women, but it they are better in average is just for it. Women who drive as often as men aren't worse at that than them.
I have known bad drivers of both genders. I have been driving for decades sometimes through the worst of conditions and have only one accident and I think it was a setup to scam the insurance company.
As a whole I think women are better drivers but the ones who are bad are really really really really bad. The only times I have been a passenger and feared for my safety have been with a woman behind the wheel.
Overall men maybe but I know some pretty good woman drivers. They may not be confident in their driving skills, but they do just fine, and drive safely 👍
I don't think it's going to matter which gender you are. As long as you are an experienced motorist behind the wheel, and you do practice safety behind the wheel all the time, again I don't think it's going to matter which gender you are.

It depends on the person.
I have a friend who rips 1000cc bikes through streets and throws cars into corners like WRC races and all the while being super confident and safe.
And then there is one of my guy friend with whom I'm embarrassed to sit with in a car coz of his driving sense, speed, judgement...

If you don't like the way women drive, stay off the sidewalk! ... lol

If you want to get somewhere faster but not necessarily safer, go for a man.
If you want to get somewhere with a reasonable length of time but much safer, go for a woman.
Voted D.
I personally suck, but there are plenty that don't.
I think that more men enjoy driving than women, but it they are better in average is just for it. Women who drive as often as men aren't worse at that than them.
It depends on your definition. Men have quicker reflexes and are more capable but men take more risk and therefore have more accidents.
Why do people even think this lol. The subtle sexism
I want to have subtle sex with a woman
I have known bad drivers of both genders. I have been driving for decades sometimes through the worst of conditions and have only one accident and I think it was a setup to scam the insurance company.
Yes... because girls want to talk, use hands, and look at you while driving. Lock your ass in the child safety seat is being SAFE
