Women tend to get in lots of little fender bender accidents. Men get in far less but they are drunk, speeding, and talking on the phone. So it ends up being very severe.
This is because women in general take low risks but have bad spacial coordination (feeling the car as their own body, understanding where the corners are etc). Men are more likely to take big risks but have much better coordination
@bamesjond0069 I am not saying all women are like me but it’s true, I am not a bad driver as per say. I have never been pulled over but I do have bad spacial coordination when I drive sometimes so I agree with what you say.
Let's put it this way... My uncle is an incredible driver! Really amazing behind the wheel. My mother not so much. She is not very agile. My uncle already had several accidents and destroyed many cars. My mother never had an accident in her life. He is better, but she is safer. On average that's how it goes.
No. Statistically women cause far less severe accidents but more smaller ones without injuries. Women are sometimes distracted while driving if they have stress, men not that often. I think male single tasking is better for focusing behind steering wheel.
No about the same since I've been driving since 2008 I've seen everything now when I catch a bad driver their either disabled, have glasses, are really old. Sometimes I drive with someone with me in the car and every time I encounter a slow reacting or strange moving car I tell them I bet this person has glasses, is too old, or disabled and I'm mostly right. But it's about equal
i think it's like everything. If you care about your driving skills, you'll be a better driver. If it's just a task to you than you won't be. I don't think gender is an issue.
That said, I think there is more pressure on guys to be good drivers.
It depends on what you mean by "worse". On average, men driving for Uber earn rnore per hour than women. They drive a bit faster and thus they complete more trips. Men in general have more accidents than women but that's because they drive more.

Depend on how you define worse. If it's who causes more crashes, women are indisputably the worst drivers.
@MrNameless Women are not safer drivers. They simply drive less so they get in fewer accidents. The study I linked is the largest ever done and it accounted for the fact that women drive less. What it found is that, per mile driven, women are involved in and cause more accidents than men.
However, when men do cause accidents they tend to be more serious ones. That's why I started out my comments with "depends on how you define worse". Worse in what way?
Men use worse judgment, but their driving skills are better. That is a proven fact.
The best and worst drivers are men. Men are more likely to be driving stunts in movies or racing professionally, women are going to have a lower deviation and be more average, then there's a going to be a bunch dudes who a irresponsible and crazy who get into crashes. This will represent a large portion of crashes.
My friend was close to death 3 times in his life, the 3 of them were car accidents and the 3 of them he was passing the street and the 3 of them the driver was a woman, one of them instead of using brakes she covered her eyes.
If you're going to talk about serious accidents like what the statistics and then sure that may be true but in reality, those minor accidents like unparalleled parking or that can block the way, scratching someone else's car, breaking something or etc. happens way more often and mostly done by women.
Like what i said, it isn't really recorded. But you can hear it from anyone just like how the statistics are also made. I can say personally, i see few males getting accidents but when it happens, i hear it from someone like the statistics. I just hear it from you not seeing it in person. Now of course those are just anecdotes. It has something to do with women having more tendency to over think before moving and panicing which causes those so they maybe safer but can be really sloppy and slow. But here's another fact. If it concludes that men commits more driving accidents, its also a fact that men drives more often so that could be the reason why there are more male accidents. If women drives as much, it could be thesame. www.iihs.org/.../males-and-females
@Aiko_E_Lara Men suffer from an often debilitating and sometimes fatal condition of testosterone poisoning, which causes us to make stupid decisions and bad choices. I mean, it's fun as hell, but...
While a lot are "stupid" a lot also works. And thats a factor why more male drivers are hired because they get things done faster. Accidents may happen more on men just by comparison but its still rare among all male drivere
I don't like to generalise, but I've seen far more terrible driving from other men. I think that comes down to attitude and over-confidence rather than any lack of actual driving skill, but good driving is mostly about attitude in my opinion.
The biggest metric we can compare men and women against each other are accidents. Women in general are by far, safer drivers and less likely to engage in risky behavior. Speeding, drunk driving, road rage etc are less likely.
It's going to come down the individual mostly. My sister and mom actually have more accidents then the male side of my immediate family.
Don't try to multitask in the car. Don't eat, look at your phone, drive the speed of traffic/speed limit, use your turn signals, speed up when changing lanes if you can. Look in front of you. Just common sense really
According to the data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety finds that many more men than women are casualties of car accidents. Over the course of a year, men represented 71 percent of casualties while women accounted for 29 percent.
Women are more unpredictable drivers- they might hit the gas, they might give you the right-of-way even when they should not. Men are more predictable- they generally floor it!

i dunno about your source, but most say that women are safer drivers and have less accidents overall. www.iihs.org/.../males-and-females

While men like to think women are worse drivers, the statistics say they are less likely to be in an accident.
Then again, in general they drive less.
i think men are more prone to street racing... by a long shot

What the statistics *said
@Aiko_E_Lara do you have proof women perform more minor accidents?
Like what i said, it isn't really recorded. But you can hear it from anyone just like how the statistics are also made. I can say personally, i see few males getting accidents but when it happens, i hear it from someone like the statistics. I just hear it from you not seeing it in person.

This is obviously not a serious question. So I'm not going to answer it seriously.
Dogs are pretty good skateboarders
I don’t think so. My younger male cousins are very reckless in their driving. Also don’t men get into fatal accidents more often?
I don't like to generalise, but I've seen far more terrible driving from other men. I think that comes down to attitude and over-confidence rather than any lack of actual driving skill, but good driving is mostly about attitude in my opinion.
Women are actually more cautious, while men engage in more risky behavior like speeding and road rage, and get into more car accidents.
The biggest metric we can compare men and women against each other are accidents. Women in general are by far, safer drivers and less likely to engage in risky behavior. Speeding, drunk driving, road rage etc are less likely.
Oh and that sterotype of Asians being bad drivers? They're actually score among the lowest in accidents in the west.

Both can be bad drivers. I'm not a bad driver though.
Duh, you drive a yota
Women tend to want to follow laws and drive smart (not all) and men tend to not really care and do what they want (again, not all)
Speed limits are really just a suggestion for slower people, right? ;)
Women are more unpredictable drivers- they might hit the gas, they might give you the right-of-way even when they should not.
Men are more predictable- they generally floor it!
Like everything men is both in top and in the bottom of the statistics.
