Are woman drivers safer of the road then man ?

Question

Do woman drivers have more accident on the road then man have

Answer 1

Safer?  Good question!

Men generally are the main drivers more often than not, so they get more time behind the wheel, this should make them safer.  On the other hand, they tend to be more aggressive drivers than women, which makes them not safer.  Additionally, men tend to take more risks than women, this can cause them to be both safer or less safe than women drivers.  Safer because if they have been exposed to a situation (ie risk) they will be better equipped to handle that same or a similar situation later.  Less safe because that risk could be beyond their ability and they may lose control of the situation.  Also, it's kind of a masculine thing, they tend know more about cars because it's a society thing, therefore, they also know about the abilities of the vehicle, what they can push it to perform and get away with, where women tend to use a vehicle more for getting from point A to point B.

However, there are always people who defy to fit any mold society has placed on them.  Men or women drivers can be reckless and aggressive.

One more thing, is it safer driving to have a mini-van full of children while your "yacking" on a cell phone and putting make-up on in the rear-view mirror all while traveling 75 on the highway? Seriously, both sexes have their potential to be safe or hazardous drivers.  We just don't take driving as seriously as we should considering people are driving around in several thousand ton weapons and we give them that license when they are still too young to understand the burden of responsibility that has been placed upon them.

Answer 2

well i think no because i am a woman

Answer 3

From what I've observed, men are more aggressive drivers and seem to get into more accidents than women.  

Answer 4

yes  

Answer 5

I don't think it matters about the s*x, women drivers can  drive just the the men. It is proven that men are little more aggressive then females by the insurance company's. But women tin to have a rage now and again

Answer 6

  Women as a whole are safer drivers than men.  But they are becoming less so daily.  Women used to be much safer drivers then men, but that trend is changing.  More women are being busted for DUI, speeding and causing accidents.  

Answer 7

women are more tolerated and will pamper the men to drive aggressively on the road...

but personally, i feel (some) men driving skill suck...wanted to show off but not skillful at all...that's why, incident.

Answer 8

Studies from insurance companies have showed that men are more likely to be involved in an accident due to aggression and road rage.

Answer 9

I'll be shot for this! I think women have fewer accidents than men (statistical proof), but aren't safer drivers. I think women cause more accidents.

The rapid breaking when she misjudges the space between cars and charges through the centre. Not really looking at roundabouts. One was in front of me at the garage. She paid and got in the car. I waited...and waited.....I got out to help and found that she's got chained to the indicator stalk by her necklace. LMFAO! I've no idea how she could manage it.She was unable to move her head. I released the red faced maiden so we could get a move on.

Bad male drivers are a totally different ball game! Crazy ba**ards. You can expect bad driving from some women ,but the bad male can hit you at any time, any place and any speed!

Answer 10

as a woman driver..I personally think men arent as much better drivers, but they are usually the main drivers, so they are more used to the roads.

The worst drivers are old people!!!!! Im not talking  about "with it" 75 year olds..but the 75 year olds that are half blind, deaf, and drive at 30 kph..grrrr!! We watched a 97 year old man hit a car and drive off..he was oblivious to it all..and he nearly hit 2 kids on the way home! The police took his licence off him when the other cars driver reported him

Answer 11

I don't think a person's s*x has anything to do with their ability to drive a car.

Answer 12

Both sexes have their good points and bad points when driving. Men tend to be involved in higher speed crashes than women and as a result are in more fatal crashes. Women tend to have a lot more lower speed crashes, largely due to inattention while behind the wheel.

Personally I (male) have been in five crashes in fifty years of driving.None as a teenager, one when I was in my early 20's by falling asleep at the wheel after an all night-er. I went 15 years until a mailman pulled out of a blind driveway and I t-boned him. Then next was losing control on an icy road in the Rockies and sliding down a steep hill on my roof. The last some twenty years ago when I hit the barricades at the US/Mexican border in TJ. So it appears that I drive like a woman...
