Do you think women are bad drivers?

[7Phoenix7]

Not gonna lie... i suck at driving and don't like to do it lol. But I've heard people say that women are bad drivers. Do you agree?

[genericname85]

you know when you look at society, everything exists in bell curves, not in binaries. bell curves help you make statements about averages and means but not about individuals. only in terms of chances. individuals can always varay and statements you make about the average may not be true for the individual.

so what you can say about the averages is that on average looking at the entire society, women are worse than men in spacial awareness and technical understanding, making women more prone for dents and scratches as they missjudge the dimensions of their vehicle.

however men on average have a more risk taking and daring character. so they are less prone than women in collecting these minor dents and scratches but they are however more prone to have the more spectacular and deadly crashes on the high way losing controll as a consequence of taking unnecessary risk.

so i would actually say on average men are the worse drivers, causse a dent can be repaired but a deadly crash is not fixable.

[genericname85]

so technically women are the worse drivers but they make up their lacking ability by taking less risk and being overall more safe as a result.

[7Phoenix7]

That's a well thought out response.

[V_Injector]

Bell curves... you've just modified how I view society. Thank you for this good sir.

[genericname85]

@V_Injector lol you're welcome. May I ask how you thought of it before?

[VoyeurGuy]

No, I do not. If you look at statistics, it also disproves this misconception.
I do however think that women are much more prone to not paying attention to the road. They think they can multitask. Talking on a cellphone. Texting. Adjusting the radio. Fiddling with the GPS. I've been in a situation where a female driver was so distracted by everything around her that I asked her to either stop with everything and drive, or pull over and switch so I can drive and she can do what it is she needs to do.

And then there is the female drivers who tries to put on make-up while driving...

Having said this, I think women get into more fender benders and small accidents, where men tend to get into more fatal and horrific accidents.

[CrazyGirl2]

No! I think bad drivers are bad drivers! However, there is a reason guys under 25 pay almost twice as much for insurance than girls. We get in way fewer accidents. We are literally objectively better drivers. We get fewer tickets, and we get into fewer accidents! Also many more men die each year in vehicle collisions according to the Insurance Institute for Highway safely!
Source: https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/males-and-females

Motor Vehicle Crashed By Sex

Here are the raw numbers of vehicles deaths by year from 1975 to 2022. *Note, for expedience and space, I only included the last ten years. But all figures are available at the source above, and I will re-post the source at the bottom.

Female drivers are between 2.5 and 3 times less likely to die if we are driving! But MORE likely to die if the guy is.

I hope this helps

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Men just drives more and longer than women. And most who work with driving related jobs are men. (Uber, Taxi, Delivery, personal driver, Etc.)

[Aiko_E_Lara]

So of course they are more prone to fatality rather than just driving around the neighborhood and picking up their kids at school.

[CrazyGirl2]

@Aiko_E_Lara Right, because it’s 1970, and most women are still housewives. Could YOU provide a source for your data that men drive greater than 2.5 times (250%) more than women. A better source would be the rate of accidents PER MILE driven. I’d be interested to read those statistics. B/C my source states:
• For every 100 million miles travelled men have a crash rate of 2.1, while women have a crash rate of 1.3. Simply put, men are 61% MORE likely to get into an accident than women
On average, men drive 62% more than women (16000 vs 10000 miles) and account for 59% of vehicle accidents.
(Source: www.lookupaplate.com/.../)

I’d be interested in seeing where you found your contrary data.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Look, I can just give you the screen shots of what I was just about to say since G@G just don't like the content I was gonna reply here. But if you just have to type in which one drives more, they literally come out as the first result. Also about the links of the statistics of the gender ratio of those driving oriented jobs.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

How about if I send the whole google search if it works?

www.google.co.uk/search

www.google.co.uk/search

www.google.co.uk/search

www.google.co.uk/search

www.google.co.uk/search

[Aiko_E_Lara]

The last link shows women drives 30% less than men and even if they have jobs, they mostly only drive to their only destination unlike men having more driving destinations than women on "average".

[CrazyGirl2]

@Aiko_E_Lara Okay, Aiko I fully understand that men drive more Uber’s, more taxis, more trucks, hell more trains, and they fly more planes too. Thank GOD for men! Our society would clearly and obviously collapse without men. However…. When one calculate’s the amount of vehicle accidents that humans get into PER 100 miles driven, it turns out that PER CAPITA, and per every 100 miles driven, women get into fewer vehicle accidents than men. The fact that men drive more miles, has nothing to do with it. If I drive 100 miles, and I get into 2 accidents, and you drive 75 miles and get in to 2 accidents, it doesn't matter that I drive more, PER MILE you got into more accidents than I did! And when you look at the insurance institute for highway safety, and the CDC data, the data show that men get into more accidents PER MILE driven than women do. That is the only way to measure the data when you have two different groups who drive, and one of those groups drives more than the other. You MUST measure a constant, the x value! in this case, the constant, (or x value) = 100 miles of driving. So when accounting for the fact that men driving more miles per year than women, and mathematically increasing the miles women drive to equal x, women still get in fewer accidents. You seem to be fixated on the fact that men drive more. It doesn't matter. It’s literally irrelevant. when adjusted for those extra miles, and the math has been done, women STILL get in fewer accidents than men, per mile driven. Period! If you cannot understand that, it’s fine. I have no animosity towards you. I hope you are happy and fulfilled, and that you live your best life. But I’m not going to argue a point of mathematical fact. It’s quite literally pointless and futile. If you believe you’ve won the debate, I’m truly happy for you, sweetie.

Take care.
Laura 🤗 🥰

[Aiko_E_Lara]

This has nothing to do with me bragging about what men do in the road for our society. But the more you drive, the more you are prone to accidents. Most of the time you'll be driving in the road, the statistics you're talking about is mostly about road accidents and 100% of "road" accidents happen in the "road". With the fact that more men drives as a profession and only few women got those jobs, that would still mean that there are more women who just drives in a more familiar destination than men and there are more men who drives in many different unfamiliar destinations. For example, driving to the ghetto, to the free way, to the offroads, to the mountains is different from driving back and forth to thesame school you left your kids at. You can see the differences of the safety of the paths chosen there. But if you really like to pretend that the ammount of times men drive and their total distances are irrelevant then I can just simply say that the accidents and car crashes you're talking about is irrelevant and that has nothing to do with being a the worse driver. I mean I'm also a safe driver because I have a driver's license but I never drived because I don't have a car meaning I never had any accidents. I'm still considered a driver for the fact that I have a driver's license and I passed the driving tests. So that means I'm better than those driving professionals who had an accident at least just once but continue working. But really it doesn't work that way and it's not rocket science. And don't worry I'm happy for me too.

[CrazyGirl2]

@Aiko_E_Lara Okay First, I NEVER claimed you were “bragging” about mens rolls in society! You have me confused with a batshit crazy third-wave feminist! I actually LOVE and RESPECT men! I think men are amazing, and I LITERALLY believe that our society, (that was built almost EXCLUSIVELY by men) and is maintained and overwhelmingly protected BY MEN, is incredible BECAUSE of men! I suppose you’ll now think I’m being sarcastic! But that just shows that you truly do not know ME! I LOVE men! Although I was raped at age 13 by my uncle, & sent him to prison for life… (well the judge and jury did THAT) but it was MY testimony that put him there! I am STILL vehemently against #BelieveAllWomen, and I would put #No #BelieveAllEvidence ! Obviously women lie FFS! That’s literally the FIRST thing most women do when they get a divorce... They FALSELY accuse their ex of DV! So I’m afraid you've got me confused with a woman who does NOT respect the shit out of men, for ALL that men do for us, so WE can work in air conditioned offices all day, while men work really HARD outside to keep that A/C running!

But I’m NOT going to argue with you! If you think I’m wrong, that’s ok ¯\_(ッ)_/¯ This is JUST an online conversation. I’m having 20 others right NOW. It’s really not important! So why get upset over it? I am sorry that I couldn't convince you, but that’s okay, I doubt anyone or any statistic I show could. And thats OK too! We ARE allowed to disagree, and that doesn't make you OR me a bad person!
But if you want, Google www.google.com/search It shows an answer that's at odds with your thesis. But again, I am NOT trying to change your mind. And no matter what, I’m DONE with this question! I’m genuinely in too good of a mood right now to argue over anything as inconsequential as "who's the “better”” anything! Men are amazing, why does it even matter if men OR women get in more accidents? Who cares?

Have a great day.
Laura 🤗 🥰

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Okay then you wouldn't have made those sarcasm. I mean you're saying "thank God for men" so what does that even imply? But if you're not really being sarcastic then you're the one bragging for men and no one else. So yes there really is no reason for you to be sarcastic about men's accomplishments unless you interpreted what I say as if I am bragging about men which that is it really that case. Also nobody here really is upset but if you like giving argument then you're going to get one. It's simple. And if you really have plenty other arguments then it's nobody's fault you have given like over 20 opinions and different arguments at a time only for you to make excuses like that in the end. You've already showed your statistics at the start of the argument which I have also presented mine. But just like what you said, if you say that men driving longer and taking more dangerous routes to get the job done is irrelevant then I can simply say those car accidents are irrelevant as well and cannot make anyone the worse drivers. And you got so defensive all of a sudden. I mean are you really that afraid if I think you hate men? Lol, there are worse feminists out there worth the roasting.

[CrazyGirl2]

@Aiko_E_Lara Okay 👍 Well you have a nice day.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

*Hugs*

[Minky17]

Yes. Every accident I've been rear ended in bc a woman was texting and driving or talking to other passengers. I've gone through 3 cars because of women drivers. Thankfully my insurance never went up but women drivers ride your ass for some reason. The monkey see monkey do logic is in full effect when I encounter female drivers.

Male drivers are annoying af and mostly have road rage but they back off if you have dashcam in the front and rear. I've had to deal with bad male drivers when I drive a BMW or Mercedes. They always want to race like an idiot.

[GeminiDiamond]

I don't like driving my partner's GT-R for that very reason! Guys, just want to race. And if I'm not going fast enough, usually big diesel trucks, they'll ride my ass. I know I can smoke most cars/trucks, but if I raced every time someone taunted me, I'd be dead or have a lot of speeding tickets.

[GeminiDiamond]

Well, if I'm driving in certain areas. There aren't many speed limits on my country.

[Minky17]

Same. I used to race dumbass people but never got tickets. I can maneuver traffic and obstacles easily but I love my car and want to keep it forever so I ignore people now. Also I listen to more calming music so I can ignore people lol

[GeminiDiamond]

This on guy with a big duly truck was riding me. We have dark tint, he couldn't see who was driving. So, I switched to manual and floored it in 4th, switched to 5th and never saw that truck again.

[GeminiDiamond]

The clutch is so nice in a GT-R

[GeminiDiamond]

I thought the clutch in a Lamborghini was nice, damb near equal, but the GT-R is a hair above

[GeminiDiamond]

My car is a BMW x5. So I don't race

[7Phoenix7]

I laughed reading this... guys do get road rage and always wanna race lol

[GeminiDiamond]

True. I race and drive better than my man, he will argue why he is better

[7Phoenix7]

@GeminiDiamond hahaha 😆

[GeminiDiamond]

I get to 200mhp and I won't go higher. He will go higher, says I can't bring it. That speed is fast

[GeminiDiamond]

Mph*

[Minky17]

It's always the damn trucks lol and I've never driven a GT-R but if it can go 200 - I need it lol

[purplepoppy]

No. Woman are far better drivers because we're less aggressive on the road, don't take stupid risks, and don't get frustrated when stuck behind a slow vehicle. It's why our insurance is cheaper.

[7Phoenix7]

Lmao

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I have a drivers license but i never drived because I don't have a car but that also means I never had any accidents so does that make me a good driver?

[purplepoppy]

Practically no, statistically yes.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Then you're saying women are statistically better but practically worse. Men just drives more than women on average.

[Purpleronnie]

I think there are just as many bad male drivers and female drivers. Interestingly statistics gathered by insurance companies point to the opposite. There are more “fatalities” resulting from male driver collisions than female.


If I was to generalize I’d say that female drivers suffer from indecision whereas male drivers suffer from aggression in driving both leading to accidents and incidents. Still , I’d say overall that female drivers are “safer” drivers as they drive defensively.

[7Phoenix7]

Interesting, wow.

[MicahRaine]

Yes lol I do. I've seen and known plenty of women who are great drivers, but I have to admit that in my experience it's been the exception. The amount of times I've been almost hit by women in parking lots, intersections (when they have a red light!), etc has me convinced that most women are bad drivers. Most guys are too though.

[7Phoenix7]

Lol sounds like you think most people suck at driving 😂

[MicahRaine]

Yeah 😂🫢

[7Phoenix7]

😂😂

[V_Injector]

I can't really talk shit. I was too poor to drive when I was a kid, then ended up in Japan for almost 10 years where I simply didn't need to drive... I mean I had my Japanese driver's license before I got back to the states, and now I'm basically over 40 and I make women do all the driving for me. I simply can't talk shit because my driving is shit and I know it.

Me + Car = Dead people + Damaged property

I'll put it this way... I only want to drive when I've been drinking and I make sure I'm not wearing a seatbelt.

[normalice]

Girls tend to want to look at people they are talking to so if they are riding with others they tend to have that instinctive distraction.

Sadly, we can't really rely on stats as women tend to drive less as they get older, giving their husbands the wheel when women would otherwise be of an age more prone distraction. It is the case that among younger single people women are statistically safer drivers, though, as young men tend to find it difficult not to indulge in flaunting control over power without any real awareness of what living with a permanent injury would mean.

[susie22]

I learned to drive on a manual transmission, and that's all I've owned to this point. I drive a 2 seater sports car with a 6 speed manual transmission, I've been through a couple Performance Driving schools and I'll put my driving skills against any guy I know. I'm quite certain that I can more than hold my own as far as driving skill goes.

[coxoabean]

Maybe, but a lot of the guys ik and a lot of guys here in Texas are bad drivers. They speed like crazy, Texas is the state with the highest speed limit already, going up to 85 and that is still not enough for anyone so they all go like 20 over. They do crazy stuff on the road, and it's a lot of guys. The ladies are much calmer

[sage2021]

I've seen women pull straight back out of a parking space and not even look first to see if any cars are coming.

I've seen men tailgate so close to the car in front of them they are almost in the other car's trunk.

Both can be bad and dangerous and shouldn't even have a license!

[IslaTheWitch]

people can be good or bad drivers...

but women suck on parking AF...

[7Phoenix7]

😂😂 you should see me park

[KrakenAttackin]

When I didy CDL we had to parallel park a full size tractor trailer on both the driver side and blind side. What a bear at first.

[NathanDavis]

there's just good, bad... and better drivers

[7Phoenix7]

Exactly 💯

[dustybiker2]

I get cut off by more men not paying attention. Even a couple cops, one on a bike.

[7Phoenix7]

Lol wow

Is this while you are on your bike? On in a car?

[dustybiker2]

Hmm.. yes it's more mixed when in my truck. But leans heavily male when on one of my motorcycles. Woman must be more sensitive to bikes than men.

[7Phoenix7]

Lol hahaha.

When did you learn to ride? Like what age?

[dustybiker2]

I asked for my first dirt bike at age two, in green. lmao My mothers father rode street bikes and he passed before I was born, it's when we realized it was in the blood. 😎

[7Phoenix7]

That's cool lol

[Joshydavid25]

Nah, my mother is actually a really good driver.. The lady sometimes scares me with how fast but good she can drive..

[7Phoenix7]

Lol what about you

[Joshydavid25]

Whatchu wanna know about me for? JK.. I'm a pretty good driver.. I was always more on the safer side.. I haven't driven in a while though..

[7Phoenix7]

Lol I would have guessed that you are safe driver.

[Joshydavid25]

Yeah, until I get really comfortable to the point where I take risk knowing that I will probably get out of it fine.. LOL..

[Miah04]

You better talk nice about your momma.
You knew better🤨

[Joshydavid25]

@Miah04 You always gotta come around going in on somebody.. 😂😂..

[Miah04]

I don't know what you're talkin bout. I'm an angel

[Joshydavid25]

@Miah04 An Angel of the French fry.. 😂

[Jennz6]

Women are better drivers and the Airforce thinks that women make better pilots

[7Phoenix7]

Better pilots wow nice

[Jennz6]

@7Phoenix7
Yup

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Except there are way less women willing to take the risk of being pilots anyways.

[andreasderjuengere]

Women apparently are bad at parking a vehicle :D

In all other situations, men can be complete idiots as well. Heh heh.

I type this reply from a country that sees more than 20000 traffic deaths each year...

[sirderpsalot123]

I just know the ones I know are bad drivers lol

[7Phoenix7]

Lmaoo.

I'm in the passenger seat with @miah04 , she's driving good. Get in..

[sirderpsalot123]

I'd rather eat glass lol

[7Phoenix7]

😂 she's a great driver... what's ur problem

[Miah04]

*kidnaps derp* you will ride!!!

[dustybiker2]

😂 Now I'll get all the complaints later his tummy is upset.

[Miah04]

@dustybiker2 😂we goin on a rough ride tonight

[dustybiker2]

I'm always game. 🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️

[Miah04]

@dustybiker2 I forgot you a daredevil

[dustybiker2]

Forgot? Right, I'm driving. Move over.

[Miah04]

@dustybiker2 no😭she gonna kill us

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker2 I'll come if dusty is driving

[dustybiker2]

•snort x2•

[Miah04]

*puts duct tape over derps mouth* you been kidnapped 😡 no talking

[sirderpsalot123]

@Miah04 I know sign language

[dustybiker2]

Can you do it with your feet? Cause we know whats coming next...

[Miah04]

You are kidnapped obviously you are tied up🥴

[7Phoenix7]

Lmaooo

[idonotlikeyou]

It's sad to say, but most women don't know how to drive, have poor reflexes, and lack knowledge of traffic rules, especially right-of-way regulations.

[Dargil]

No, but many expect chivalry in traffic. Driving is combat.

[7Phoenix7]

Lol.

[Booklover_90]

My dad taught me how to drive sooooo…. lol. I guess you can say I drive like a man. 😂

[7Phoenix7]

😂 lol

[strangeatcircleK]

This kind of drives me crazy 🤣 car insurance says women are much better drivers but as far as I can tell women are at least 50/50 with men. Both get angry and both make bad choices with driving and yet somehow women pay less for car insurance, for younger insurance, I believe

But overall. Women and men are equal here. There is not more than the other. I think there are just as many bad male drivers as female drivers

[dragoblack]

All depends on experience, and style of driving. I've met bad male drivers. It's not a gender exclusive thing.

[7Phoenix7]

Yea I agree with you

[Account]

Well according to data, more men are susceptible to car accidents causing death or bodily harm compared to women.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

That's because men just drives more and longer on average. The more you drive means the more you're prone to accidents. You can call someone a good driver just because they're safe drivers when they only drive around the neighborhood maybe like just 10 times a year.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

The last link shows women drives 30% less than men and even if they have jobs, they mostly only drive to their only destination unlike men having more driving destinations than women on "average".

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Oops wrong user to reply

[AlexEfron]

Not necessarily 😂, but I love to make those sexist jokes 🤣

[7Phoenix7]

😂😂

[Brady]

I didn't watch it but I've seen women n men r bad drivers.

[7Phoenix7]

Yes lol

[clampfan101]

I make no skill assumptions based on gender.

[7Phoenix7]

👍 good

[SoJust]

Yeah be could , but everything learn drive car

[7Phoenix7]

What? Lol

[SoJust]

I say everyone learns to drive

[7Phoenix7]

Oh ok, yes

[Nikki1989]

It has nothing to do with gender. Some people are just bad drivers.

[pethouse]

No, isn’t the whole reason why women have cheaper insurance is because they are better drivers?

[7Phoenix7]

Lol probably so

[DishLady]

Nope. There are bad male and female drivers. It's not limited to one gender.

[joehypo1]

100% agree lol i wish there was a nascar for just for wemen it would be entertaining , no offense

[Anonymous]

No, I actually know some women who are better drivers than most men I know.

[7Phoenix7]

I wish I was one 😂

[Opinion Owner]

Come on, I'm sure you're a great driver ;)

[Kingofkings1992]

No, that’s just a stereotype. On average, women’s depth perception is not as good as men’s. Therefore, women are more likely to cause a minor accident, like a fender bender. Men, however, are typically more aggressive drivers. Men are much more likely to cause a serious accident.

[justabuddy]

It depends. To most girls driving is a chore... so they only learn what they have to to get by. Those girls probably are bad drivers.


To other girls who take more time to learn, and do I dare say pride in their driving. They can be quite good... if not great drivers.

[spartan55]

Women are safer drivers (which is proven by looking at insurance rates). Men are better at pushing a vehicle to it's limit (all forms of racing, etc) Don't see any women in Formula 1.

[worldscolide]

If you look at insurance stats, men are worse.. But in those stats you will see that women get into more accidents.. But men get into more FATAL accidents making them worse, Men tend to do more damage when they get into an accident.

[worldscolide]

On that same token, You see more texting while driving tickets given to women, and more cell phone usage tickets given to women.. In my state using your phone without a hands free kit is illegal.

[Staximus]

I know plenty of good drivers who are women, and one who can drive better than most men. Her dad was a race car driver, though

[Amandanator]

It’s humiliating enough hearing this when you realize all the best chefs in the world are men when they say women belong in the kitchen 😅

[Simslover92]

I'm a bad driver too. So I would say a lot may be but there are some good women drivers too. But many are not good drivers.

[BLP11520]

in my opinion, men are more reckless. I spend a lot of time on the road with my job have for about the last 26 years.

[Xawyx]

No, some girls I know are excellent drivers, better than some men I know.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

They're more of a "in between" if you compare them to men. Men are better and worse drivers at the same time while women drivers tend to be just good or mediocre.

[Miah04]

Naw. Each person is unique

[7Phoenix7]

Can I ride in the passenger seat with you? Lol

[Miah04]

Of course. I would love to share my car ride with you😊

[Samantha_Stevenson]

Yes except some rare exceptions like @Dnice1

[Samantha_Stevenson]

Studies do show that men are much likely to pass a driving test

[Bklynbadboy12]

No women have to get a little better ti be considered a bad driver they are horrible drivers. I'm sorry but I have to be honest. Not all are horrible but 89% are

[NadYdnaL]

Not a gender thing some people are good and some are awful

[dudeinohio]

No. Insurance costs for women are lower than for men.

[TracyF]

Yes. Only because the only people to have run into me while driving, we're women.

[Babygirl_S]

I don’t enjoy driving

[7Phoenix7]

Me either lol

[truckgod92]

Being around eastern european car woman, no, no they are not.

[truckgod92]

@Viola_456 can probably confirm

[Viola_456]

I Can, at least im not bad 😂

[truckgod92]

@Viola_456 let me guess you race all your friends

[Viola_456]

Not at All, but yeah i raced them couple of times 😅

[truckgod92]

@Viola_456 and you did great right, assuming you didn't rip the wheel off the car

[MacDaddyRico]

I've seen bad women drivers, and I've seen bad-ass women drivers

[Jerre]

No. Bad drivers are both men and women

[7Phoenix7]

Yep.

[Jerre]

@7Phoenix7 Thank you for the Like
