where is the rest of the information. It stated that both sexes agree on weather related accidents. Then it stated how many accidents were related to weather. However it doesnt go on to explain the percentage of how many of those accidents were caused by women, and how many by men. That would pretty much sum up who is a better driver wouldnt it. I dont know if it would be men or women. I know plent y of both, but if you are going to do a pole and gather info. Gather all the info. Whats the point in asking peoples opinions on a pole if you are not going further expain the statistical information behind it. Oh well just my thoughts. We are all bad drivers in the eyes of someone right?
I may be putting a date on my age but I believe Marsha Brady proved the correct answer to \”Good Driver\’s\” response!!!!!! I agree w/\”Little\”, we are ALL bad drivers in someone else\’s eyes.
I hope your driving is better than your grammar … Studies have shown that males have a much higher crash record — starting out with more crashes on Big Wheels.
It is ALL too frightening when ANY person is talking on their cell phone while driving!!!
The most frightening is a soccer mom with her \”razr\” phone wedged up against her shoulder, while weaving in and out of traffic, in her Chevy Suburban, on her way to droppping the girls off to cheerleading practice.
All I can say is that I know of only one person who could hit both sides of a two car garage with only one car being parked in the garage and that was my mother!
I guess if only 26% of women think they\’re better drivers, they must be married to the 32% of men who don\’t claim to be better drivers…so I guess they\’re both right. Of course an opinion poll is good for a laugh and nothing more…
Men do have more accidents than women do, but it\’s probably because men log more hours behind the wheel than women do. This was, years ago, a fact. I think women are catching up. I haven\’t seen the latest statistics but would guess that men are still logging more hours behind the wheel. I agree that we are all bad drivers in someone else\’s eyes. I\’ve seen, both men and women, driving mini vans or SUV\’s on the interstate go whizzing past me, driving over the speed limit, with children in the vehicle! We all should think about what we\’re doing at all times when we\’re behind the wheel. There would be fewer accidents and deaths.
Women are nest builders resulting in more cautious behaviors and longer life expectancy. But that cautiousness in driving becomes indecisiveness causing accidents when starting and stopping or driving beneath a speed limit whether good or bad weather. That\’s the truth…BABY!
I know women whose driving is excellent and I know men who drive beautifully. As in all other human issues, gender is NOT a classifier per se.
What happens is that men have been driving since the first motocars were on the roads, when women were supposed to stay at home knitting, playing piano, singing and reading the Bible aloud for the kids. It took the best part of a century to see women behind the wheel. And perhaps in those times they had not the necessary muscle power to keep it steady or turn at bends and would end up against a wall, a tree or another vehicle, breeding a fame that have accompanied them ever since :-)

Everyone knows, but don\’t want to admit, that men are just better drivers, no matter what the weather conditions.
