Why are women so bad at driving?

[Kingofkings1992]

Can someone please explain this phenomenon to me? Being born with a vagina makes you abysmal at operating a motor vehicle. I don’t understand it

[icebrg25]

Now that is generalizing it ain't only women as bad. I know a lot of guys that are shouldn't even have a driver's license and I know some cultures that shouldn't even they should stay on the bike with roller skates or scooter. I mean man it ain't you can't just pinpoint it to one gender, one race or anything like that. It's all across the board. We just got bad drivers and good drivers so you can't just pinpoint and say oh woman behind the wheel. Oh my god look out. I know some women tear up the damn highway. I mean maneuver it just can handle it in themselves on the highway so you can't say wise women in the back driver. Now you should say why the hell do we have bad drivers. What the hell is wrong DMV

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that men cause an average of 6.1 million accidents per year in the US, and women cause 4.4 million accidents per year. Males do 62% of the driving, but only cause 58% of the accidents. So women do cause slightly more accidents per capita than men. "So bad" is a stretch.

[Jasmin01]

The whole thing is nonsense. So many men cause accidents that result in injuries or deaths. This happens much less often with women driving a car.

[Kingofkings1992]

Not nonsense. Men cause more serious accidents on average because they take more risks. Women cause more accidents overall because of not paying attention.

[Apple1996]

I don't know any women drivers that are bad. Its only really men that are bad drivers from what I've noticed

[Kingofkings1992]

That’s funny. I guess it’s just coincidence 85% of people who drive for a living are men. Lmao

[Apple1996]

Probably accurate since most cars on road are driving bad

[jahaims]

It's not a coincidence. It comes down to biology/psychology as well as societal and cultural norms. All jobs have direct correlations with this. 86% of nurses are female, for example. Females are, on average, more nurturing, so they gravitate towards nursing.

[Apple1996]

@jahaims and honestly these men aren't driving bad while working. It's when they're off work driving casually they they think they own the road since they do it for work.
My FIL was a cop thought he owned the road type of shit but was the worst driver ever. Doing things that were obviously illegal cause he felt above others/the law

[Kingofkings1992]

@Apple1996 men drive more aggressively. However , driving aggressively doesn’t equate to driving bad

[Apple1996]

it's not even just aggressive either tho. Some men pussy foot it soo badly😵

Driving has rules of the road. Women can't argue it out. Women don't like hard rules. Most things are a debate to women. I had a woman back into my PARKED car. And her argument was my care didn't show up on her dash camera. And I said it never occurred to you to turn around and look with your eyes. And she looked at me like I was crazy. 😆

According to insurance statistics women have fewer accidents. That being said, they are more likely to be screwing with their phones, applying makeup and not paying attention.

[Kingofkings1992]

That’s dead wrong. I don’t know what statistics you’re looking at. Women account for about 60% of accidents, despite driving 20% less men do.

I remember this from Drivers Ed when I was in high school many years ago.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Its an 50~60~70 year old stereotype, where women were only allowed to drive 5km to the grocery store and back once a week.

Its just lack of experience.

[Billlewis]

Whenever I take the bus, the best drivers are almost always women.

[Kingofkings1992]

Lmfao

[Billlewis]

And that's not to say there aren't good male bus drivers, but as anyone who has ever taken public transportation can tell you, there's nothing more aggravating than a driver who has no urgency. You're sitting at a red light and you know he can hit the accelerator and keep going, but instead, he decides to hesitate for a few seconds, thus adding another couple of minutes to your trip.

Not everyone though and I have known several women who are able to drive much better than many men but it's all about the ability of coordination and road domination. Truth be told that men are slightly more capable on this profession though.

[JackCarter]

I think number of women who drive are less compared to men, doesn't make them bad drivers

[Iron_Man]

Danika Patrick is top of the line. I don’t see why other women can’t be good

[AngryCarl2]

She's probably not the best example. You ever see NASCAR?

[Iron_Man]

@AngryCarl2 of course who else is a better driver than her

[AngryCarl2]

I mean Jimmy Johnson or pretty much any driver in NASCAR. Maybe not Kyle Busch, he's an idiot.

[Iron_Man]

I’m talking about the women of the world. How many are good enough to be in NASCAR? And if she can make it, the average woman can be a decent driver on the public highways if they try

[AngryCarl2]

Why are men so bad at driving?

[AngryCarl2]

Most RTAs are caused by men. That's why women pay less for insurance.

[nevooo]

I don't know but its pretty annoying.

[John_Cobretti]

I don't think so though

[SUMAIREBRAHIM]

I need to do research on this

[Anonymous]

We aren’t.
